This exquisite "ro" (gauze) summer silk kimono showcases yabane (arrow feather) and curvilinear motifs with sheer finesse. However, there are noticeable stains on the sleeve edges and in other areas. Its measurements are approximately 47 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 58 inches in height, or about 119 centimeters by 147 centimeters.

This artwork is featured on page 270 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.
