This silk kimono showcases an intricate pattern and unique techniques, featuring a complex shibori design with fan and 'tsuzumi' (hand drum) motifs. The detail images offer a closer look at the elaborate craftsmanship. Its inner lining, the hakkake, is made of wool. While there's a 2cm stain on the front lapel and silk shattering in the inner lining, the overall design is striking.

The 'tsuzumi' represents the traditional shoulder drum used in Japanese music and theater, while 'sensu' refers to the folding fan, both often used together in Kabuki and Noh stage performances. This kimono exudes a sense of stage and theater, bestowing upon the wearer an aura of sophistication and worldliness.

The artists and craftsmen involved in creating this kimono were elite, evident in the meticulous lavender tie-dye contrasting boldly with the yellow and red drum motifs, executed with a complex blend of techniques including localized double kasuri (ikat), shibori (tie-dye), and supplementary three-dimensional wefts. The creation likely demanded several months of precise labor under the direction of a master kimono artist.
