This gauze silk summer kimono has a silkscreened pattern displaying bold diagonal bands filled with intricate geometric motifs that suggest both traditional Japanese basketweave patterns and the angular aesthetics of contemporary abstract art movements. The composition creates a dynamic visual rhythm through its interplay of diagonal movement and geometric infill, evoking the structural complexity found in both traditional craft patterns and modernist graphic design of the period.
The monochromatic palette of dark charcoal and pale gray reflects the period's embrace of sophisticated restraint, while the gauze silk construction speaks to the garment's practical function as summer wear.
Measuring about 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, this kimono stands at a height of approximately 60 inches (152 cm).
