This chirimen silk kimono exhibits stenciled white plant motifs against a black backdrop. Measuring 50 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end by 63 inches in height (127 cm x 160 cm), it was crafted using a unique method. The white motifs on the black canvas were likely achieved by applying a dye-resist paste through stencils onto a white kimono base before submerging it into a black dye bath. This process hints at a light coat of the dye-resist starch remaining on the white motifs.
