This meisen-omeshi summer kimono features an intricate basketweave or log cabin-style pattern in rich teals, yellows, and coral tones that creates a complex optical field reminiscent of Constructivist and Bauhaus design principles. Against this dynamic geometric ground, clusters of tubaki (camellia) blossoms appear as if scattered by wind, their naturalistic forms creating a compelling tension with the rigidly structured background. The camellias rest upon jigami—stylized fan-shaped papers—that serve as delicate frames for the floral motifs, adding another layer of geometric interplay to the overall design.

The artistic sophistication lies in how the designer balances opposing visual forces: the mechanical precision of the woven geometric pattern against the organic curves of the camellia blossoms, and the cool palette of the background against the warm tones of the flowers. The camellia, a winter-blooming flower symbolizing enduring love and the beauty that persists through adversity, gains additional meaning when rendered on fan-shaped papers that traditionally carried poetry or artistic inscriptions. This combination suggests cultured refinement and literary sensibility. The meisen-omeshi technique, with its characteristic soft-edged quality and silk-rayon blend, creates subtle variations in texture and light reflection that animate the geometric pattern while maintaining the crisp definition needed for such complex patterning.

Its measurements are 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 56 inches (142 cm) in height.
