This silk kimono, measuring around 51 inches (130 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 58 inches (147 cm) in height, represents a departure from traditional Japanese designs during the late Taisho and early Showa period in the 1920s and 1930s. The stenciled patterns on this soft, high-quality silk reflect the experimentation of the artist, showcasing innovative and unprecedented designs within the realm of kimono artistry.
