This silk kimono displays captivating shibori-dyed mandarin orange and plum blossom motifs, accentuated by vertical silver foil thread inserts. Its dimensions measure approximately 51 inches (130 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stand at a height of 60 inches (152 cm). Shibori tie-dyeing, which comes in various forms, is showcased here: the yellow mandarin orange motifs were crafted using larger cloth areas, while the white/lavender mandarin orange and plum blossom motifs were created through clusters of small ties. Plum blossoms, symbolizing spring and often referenced in Japanese poetry, are believed to ward off evil when planted in the northeast of a garden. On the other hand, the mandarin orange (tachibana) holds significance for longevity and luck, and its historical planting alongside a plum tree at the Imperial Palace symbolizes this association. This kimono exemplifies the Taisho-period trend of reinventing traditional motifs in innovative styles.
