This captivating blue silk furisode showcases exquisite designs crafted using the yuzen technique, known for its paste-resist dyeing method. The motifs, including cranes and flowers, are highlighted using satin stitch and sagara embroidery, lending a remarkable depth to the patterns. The intricate design continues onto the lower inner lining, while the upper inner lining features vibrant red silk.
It's noted that this kimono, along with #1463, was reportedly brought to the United States in the 1940s by a US Military Governor and diplomat who resided in Japan post-WWII to aid in restoration efforts. In excellent condition, it does show minor tears along the neck lining. Its measurements are 52 inches (132 cm) across the sleeves and standing 72 inches (183 cm) tall.
