This tsumugi kimono features a printed faux ikat pattern that mimics the complex resist-dyeing technique, creating the characteristic blurred, flame-like edges associated with true kasuri (Japanese ikat). The yabane (arrow feather) motifs are interwoven with bold vertical striping in a rich palette of rust red, cream, deep purple, and brown tones, creating a dynamic visual rhythm across the textile's surface.

The yabane pattern carries powerful symbolic meaning in Japanese culture, representing protection from evil and the ability to ward off misfortune, while also symbolizing strength and the swift flight toward one's goals. During the Meiji era, such motifs took on additional significance as Japan navigated rapid modernization while maintaining cultural identity. The hand-spun tsumugi silk with its distinctive ribbed weft texture reflects the continued appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship even as industrial printing methods were being adopted. This combination of traditional weaving techniques with printed designs represents a fascinating hybrid approach that emerged during Japan's period of technological adaptation. The overall aesthetic recalls the bold graphic sensibilities that would later influence Art Deco movements, while the earthy color palette and geometric precision demonstrate the enduring influence of Japanese design principles on both domestic and international decorative arts.

Its measurements are 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 60 inches (152 cm) in height.
