This kimono displays a bold vertical stripe pattern consisting of alternating bands of yellow-gold, dark brown, and olive green in varying widths, creating a rhythmic visual composition.

The vertical stripe motif itself carries traditional Japanese symbolic meaning, often representing strength, growth, and upward movement, while also creating a lengthening effect on the wearer's silhouette. The earth-toned palette of browns, olives, and golds evokes natural elements and suggests a connection to seasonal themes, particularly autumn, which holds special significance in Japanese aesthetics.

It measures around 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at a height of approximately 59 inches (150 cm).
