This kinsha (fine crepe) silk kimono displays vertical stripes, with the upper inner lining (doura) crafted from plain hand-spun and woven silk. However, it does have a small hole on one sleeve. Its measurements are approximately 46 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 62 inches in height, or about 117 centimeters by 157 centimeters.

This artwork is featured on page 131 of Art Kimono: Aesthetic Revelations of Japan, 1905-1960. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
