This silk boy's miyamairi kimono, used in a Shinto shrine's coming-of-age ceremony, boasts yuzen-painting, freehand painting, and gold foil highlights. Measuring 36 inches (91 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 38 inches (97 cm) in length, it's in good condition with minor imperfections: a tiny hole and light smudging on the front, as well as subtle light green smudging and minor smudging on the back.

This ceremonial kimono draws its theme from the Kabuki classic "Renjishi," specifically the folk tale about a white-maned father shishi and his red-maned cub—the main subject of this kimono—surrounded by blooming peonies. These mythical creatures reside at the base of a sacred Buddhist mountain. The narrative centers on the parent shishi's act of fostering courage and strength in the cub by kicking it over a ravine, anxiously waiting for its return. Successfully climbing back, the cub signifies the completion of the rite of passage, with both shishi triumphantly waving their manes. This tale embodies the desired virtues of courage and strength for a boy's passage into adulthood, making it fitting for such a ceremonial garment.

The peony flowers painted on this kimono correlate with the story of "Renjishi," as both the shishi and the peony are regarded as supreme figures—the king of beasts and the king of flowers, respectively. Notably, the Renjishi theme is rare in miyamairi ceremonial kimonos, making this example particularly unique.
