This synthetic boy's miyamairi ceremonial kimono features yuzen-painted peonies and a lion, outlined in gold-colored paint with highlighted embroidery. It's in very good condition with minor imperfections, measuring approximately 32 inches (81 cm) across the shoulders and 39 inches (99 cm) in height. In Japan, the lion and peonies have deep associations with Buddhism, often related to the Noh drama 'Stone Bridge,' where a lively lion dances among peony blossoms symbolizing longevity and a joyous life. Reflecting yin and yang cosmology, the lion embodies masculine energy, while peonies represent beauty and sensuality.
