This dark olive-green chirimen silk kimono features hand-painted depictions of the twelve Famous Views of Edo. It includes a natural cream-white silk lining in the main part and red lining in the sleeves. However, it's in fair to good condition, with noticeable fading primarily on the background areas, especially in the upper front and back portions. The kimono has been altered by shortening it about 4 inches, with the original hem folded and hand-sewn into the inner garment, resulting in wear and a 3.5-inch silk split at the new fold. Additionally, the inner lining shows some small tears. Due to its condition, this kimono is better suited for display as a study or art piece, rather than being worn.

Measuring 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 58 inches (147 cm) in height, it showcases five family crests (mon) with a particularly rare motif symbolizing nine stars (hoshi). These stars have associations with the worship of Ursa Major, a practice that originated in the early Heian period and gradually integrated into Buddhist belief, specifically the belief in the protective war deity Myoken.

The twelve Famous Views of Edo, representing the Tokyo area, were a favored subject during the latter Edo period. Artists like Ando Hiroshige created woodblock prints and other artworks depicting these views, each associated with a month of the year.
