This rinzu (damask) silk kimono is adorned mainly with traditional Japanese music instrument motifs using various techniques like yuzen-painting, bokashi shading, couching, and simple embroidery highlights. It features a single mon (family crest) and a base pattern of bold "hiogi" (decorated folding fan) motifs on high-quality silk. The blue symbolizes the sky while the soft green represents the earth. Motifs include a "kiji" (pheasant), phoenix, tsuzumi (hand drum), and "shou" (wind instrument), with bokashi shading on the susomawashi (inner lower lining). Measuring 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at a height of 63 inches (160 cm), this kimono, with its semi-formal single-family crest and unique motifs, suggests it was worn at a specialized celebration, possibly by a geisha or for a particular event. The creation of such a specialized kimono involved significant expense and required skilled artists considerable time to paint the intricate and diverse motifs, making this piece exceptionally rare and distinctive.
