This silk miyamairi boys kimono, crafted for the child's ceremonial anointment at a Shinto shrine, features yuzen-dyed depictions of the folk legend Momotaro and his animal companions. Measuring 36 inches (91 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at a height of 42 inches (107 cm), this kimono carries the tale of Momotaro, the 'peach boy', who emerged from a peach and embarked on a journey to defeat ogres terrorizing the land, aided by a monkey, a dog, and a pheasant. The detailed illustration on the garment vividly portrays this celebrated legend of bravery and triumph.
