This "sha" (simple gauze) chirimen silk hitoe (unlined) summer kimono showcases woven carp motifs. Its measurements are 49 inches (124.5 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 60 inches (152.4 cm) in height. The kimono embodies the "iki" aesthetic of simplicity, purity, and sophistication, evident during the Taisho period (1912-1926).

The carp motifs hold symbolism: "Kohaku" carp with white bodies and red spots symbolize career success, "Kumonryu" with an all-black body signifies life changes, "Ogon" in solid silver represents success in business and wealth, and the white and red "Kuchibeni" signifies enduring love and relationships.

What makes this kimono extraordinary is the meticulous detailing. Each carp on the garment differs in size, color, and intricacy, a testament to the "iki" philosophy. Notably, the artist painstakingly painted missing parts of several carp across the seam line dividing the front and back panels. This detail showcases exceptional craftsmanship, as it's uncommon for designers to address such intricacies in traditional kimono design.
