This unique chirimen silk tomesode is quite a rarity, adorned with yuzen-painted illustrations depicting men and women from the Heian period on a dark green background. The garment is accentuated with silk embroidery and freehand painted highlights. Typically intended for winter wear, it's constructed with layers, except for the upper doura inner lining, providing insulation. Adorned with five mon, this exquisite piece measures 49 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands 60 inches in height. Its depiction of Heian figures on such a distinctive canvas likely makes it a striking and prized kimono.
