The very fine silk miyamairi kimono for a Shinto christening ceremony features a jumping carp motif employing embroidery, metallic couching, 'bokashi', and sumi-e painting techniques. Its silk fabric showcases an inter-locking diamond pattern, reflective of damask or brocade techniques found in Edo-period textiles. Measuring 32 inches (81 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, it stands at a height of 37 inches (94 cm). Despite some slight smudging and a few inconspicuous tiny holes, it remains a symbol of courage, strength, fortune, and fertility.
