This chirimen silk hitoe kimono showcases "ominaeshi" motifs (patrinia scabiosaefolia or ladyflowers) in a yuzen-painted style with pigmented highlights. It measures 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands 60 inches (152 cm) tall. Interestingly, the ladyflower often invited amorous innuendo in Japanese culture, similar to the goldenrod in Europe and North America. For instance, a Japanese haiku verse subtly hints at this: "Now that autumn comes, They tangle on the grassy fields, These ladyflowers. Where is the man who can see them And not pinch a bloom or two."
