This plain silk boy's kimono was likely used for the miyamairi Shinto shrine initiation ceremony. Its measurements are approximately 32 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 35 inches in height, or about 81 centimeters by 89 centimeters.

While some kimonos deviate from the standard miyamairi style, they can still be identified through specific features, such as the twin front ribbon straps used to tie around the grandparent's neck during the miyamairi ceremony. In the case of this kimono, it is patterned with stenciled motifs depicting Heian noble headgear, a drum, and a kagura bell.
