This silk miyamairi kimono, utilized for the christening of a baby boy at a Shinto ceremony, showcases yuzen and freehand painting portraying the famous folktale battle scene of Gojo Bridge. There are several small areas of slight foxing, some visible in the adjoining detail images, along with inner lining staining. Its measurements are 32 inches (81 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 39 inches (99 cm) in height.

The Gojo Bridge folktale depicted on this kimono revolves around two revered historical figures turned legends. The first is Benkei, a Japanese warrior monk who transitioned from a Buddhist monastery to become a 'yamabushi', recognized by their black caps. The second figure is Minamoto no Yoshitsune, son of the warlord Minamoto no Yoshitomo. Illustrated on this kimono, Benkei positioned himself at Gojo Bridge in Kyoto, disarming every passing swordsman, amassing 999 swords. On his 1000th duel, Benkei was defeated by Minamoto no Yoshitsune and thereafter became Yoshitsune's retainer. Benkei is intricately painted on this miyamairi kimono, while Minamoto no Yoshitsune is symbolized by a sword, simplifying the image. This legend is fitting for a boy's kimono, symbolizing bravery and nobility, qualities parents wish for their sons. The painting exhibits remarkable detail, especially in the river waves, the bridge, and the carefully-rendered bamboo grass and flower motifs adorning Benkei's kimono and hakama.
