This chirimen silk kimono displays two variations of yabane (arrow feather) motifs, occasionally overlapping: one created through silkscreen and the other through shibori (tie-dye) techniques. Its measurements are approximately 50 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands 59 inches tall (127 cm x 150 cm).

This artwork is featured on page 270 of Art Kimono: Aesthetic Revelations of Japan, 1905-1960. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
