This rinzu silk kimono displays a striking shibori design, measuring 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 57 inches (145 cm) in height. The pattern-work is notably abstract and experimental, reflecting the artistic exploration of Japanese creators during the 1920s and 30s. This period marked a renaissance in both kimonos and art, coinciding with Japan's rapid economic growth and increasing confidence within the Empire.
It's interesting to note that while stenciling was an option, the artist chose the more intricate shibori (tie-dye) method, despite its laborious and time-consuming nature. Shibori offered a unique puckered texture highly revered in Japanese craftsmanship. The kimono's color selection is exquisite, featuring two shades of large yellow shibori dots, distinctly noticeable in variations, and two shades of purple, enhancing its overall appeal.
