This bold rinzu silk kimono boasts oversized stenciled hollyhock leaf motifs against a background pattern of sayagata on soft, high-quality silk. Measuring 51 inches (130 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing 59 inches (150 cm) tall, its striking design and quality craftsmanship make it an eye-catching piece.

This artwork is featured on page 213 of Art Kimono: Aesthetic Revelations of Japan, 1905-1960. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
