This textured chirimen silk kimono boasts alternating red and blue undulating color bands set against a black background. Measuring approximately 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 58 inches (147 cm) in height, this garment reflects a departure from traditional Japanese designs of the late Taisho and early Showa period in the 1920s and 1930s.
This particular kimono represents the artist's experimental approach, resulting in a design that diverges from established Japanese traditions. While showcasing fulfilling results, it does exhibit an area of moderate discoloration on the lower backside, as shown in the images. This unique piece captures the innovation and creative exploration characteristic of the era.
