This woven silk hitoe, an unlined summer kimono, showcases wild carp motifs. Measuring 49 inches (125 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 62 inches (157 cm) in height, it holds symbolism particularly meaningful when used on a woman's garment.

The carp (koi) motifs, featuring both silver and black renditions, symbolize faithfulness in marriage and overall good fortune. The use of silver metallic thread woven inserts to create the silver carp is a unique technique, providing a striking contrast against the mottled blue atmospheric background. The composition, with its dramatic and experimental design featuring these silver and black carp, creates a captivating and innovative kimono 'canvas'.
