This rinzu (figured silk) chirimen (crepe) silk kimono, adorned with large stenciled leaves on a tan background, measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at a height of 59 inches (150 cm). Despite a small light stain on the back sleeve, the kimono emanates a relaxed and effortless vibe with the green and purple leaves crossing paths on the two-tone tan figured silk background, creating a stunning canvas.
