This bold rinzu (damask) silk kimono showcases stenciled fan motifs on a striking blue background. Measuring about 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 59 inches (150 cm) in height, this kimono features 'senmen chirashi' or scattered fan motifs. This arrangement allows Japanese artists to weave subordinate themes into a larger design context.

In this particular kimono, the subordinate theme within the fans is floral, incorporating auspicious flowers like chrysanthemums. The placement of the fans in a sinuous manner across the canvas creates a compelling and powerful graphic artwork. This innovative approach, offering new graphic interpretations of traditional motifs, epitomizes some of the finest examples of Taisho-period kimono artistry.
