This exquisite silk rinzu kimono showcases shibori (tie-dye) bamboo motifs, albeit with a tiny hole in the left sleeve. It measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 59 inches (150 cm) in height. Bamboo holds profound significance in Japanese culture, recognized as one of the "three companions of winter." Its resilience throughout the seasons associates it with virtues such as constancy, integrity, and honor.
The kimono's wide, dark red vertical stripes, seemingly resembling bamboo stalks, create a background that subtly links to the prominent large yellow bamboo leaves in the foreground. This artistic portrayal aesthetically connects the stripes with the depiction of the bamboo leaves, creating a harmonious visual narrative.
