This chirimen (crepe) silk kimono is woven with "yabane" (arrow-feather) motifs, measuring 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 58 inches (147 cm) in height. During the Meiji period, yabane motifs were popular on schoolgirl and teacher kasuri (ikat) kimonos. Later, during the Taisho and early Showa periods, they became a favored motif for women's kimonos, often created through shibori, stenciling, or yuzen-dyeing techniques. The arrow-feather patterns were typically vertical but occasionally angled. While the Yabane pattern is suitable for all seasons, it holds auspicious significance in weddings—a symbolic analogy to an arrow shot from a bow, signifying that a bride does not return to her parents' house.
