This fine silk rinzu kimono showcases shibori (tie-dye) bamboo motifs and measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, standing at 59 inches (150 cm) in height. Despite its quality, there's a small hole present in the left sleeve.
Bamboo holds revered significance in Japanese culture, often regarded as one of the "three companions of winter." Its resilience throughout all seasons symbolizes virtues like constancy, integrity, and honor. The kimono's design cleverly juxtaposes wide dark red vertical stripes, evoking bamboo stalks, with large yellow bamboo leaves in the foreground, subtly linking these elements within the artistic representation.
