This chirimen silk kimono boasts an abstract design featuring colored rectangles, some adorned with small damask designs, especially notable in the pink rectangles enhanced with embroidery highlights. Additionally, there are gold metallic insert threads throughout the garment. Its measurements stand at approximately 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 60 inches (152 cm) in height.
Notably, this kimono reflects a departure from traditional Japanese design norms during the late Taisho and early Showa period of the 1920s and 1930s. The artist's experimentation resulted in a unique and unprecedented creation. Despite a small stain on the front lapel and another inconspicuous one on the back collar, this kimono showcases an intriguing blend of innovative design elements, showcasing the artist's exploration and yielding fascinating results.
