This rinzu silk kimono features meticulously detailed yuzen and freehand painted motifs of karahana flowers and fierce lions. Each lion is uniquely hand-painted by a master artist, showcasing individuality as no stenciling was used. Additionally, some karahana flower motifs incorporate horizontal red and silver metallic threads for added highlights. On the front side, there are several light yellowish stains.
Its measurements are 48 inches (121.9 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 58 inches (147.3 cm) in height. The karahana motif, symbolizing a generic flower, has a rich history originating from the Silk Road and China centuries ago. Similarly, lions, as depicted here, hold significance in Buddhist art, where their roar represents the 'voice of law' within the religion.
