This antique kurotomesode features silkscreened landscape across the lower hem. The garment is crafted from high-quality black silk, serving as the most formal attire for a married woman. The scenic design depicts a classical mountain retreat, complete with traditional architectural pavilions, cascading waterfalls, and misty peaks, all framed by vibrant green pine trees and delicate white plum blossoms.
The composition utilizes a soft, ethereal palette of moss green, teal, and earth tones, which emerge from a misty white haze at the waistline. Symbolically, the pine trees represent longevity and steadfastness, while the architectural pavilions suggest a life of refinement and tranquility.
Maintained in very good condition, it measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 59 inches (150 cm) in height.
