This chirimen (crepe) silk kimono features stenciled white plant motifs against a black background. Measuring approximately 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 63 inches (160 cm) in height, it's notable that the process involved dyeing a white kimono cloth black after applying a dye-resist paste through the stencils for the white motifs. There's a light coating of the dye-resist starch visible on the white motifs.
