This chirimen silk kimono features distinctive motifs—large 'pictures' of flowers, waves, and more spaced across the garment, all meticulously yuzen-painted. It measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 59 inches (150 cm) in height.

This artwork is featured on page 253 of Art Kimono: Aesthetic Revelations of Japan, 1905-1960. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
