This "miyamairi" kimono, designed for the ceremonial rite of passage of a one-month-old baby boy at a Shinto Shrine, features finely-rendered yuzen-painted 'Yoshitsume' and 'Benkei' motifs. These legendary figures in Japanese history and folklore, Yoshitsune, a remarkable young general, and Benkei, a warrior monk, shared various adventures and tales of bravery. Their stories, often depicted in art and literature, capture their courage, loyalty, and indomitable spirit. It measures 39 inches (99 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 41 inches (104 cm) in height.
