This silk winter kurotomesode features yuzen-painted bird, flower, and bamboo artwork, accentuated by metallic embroidery highlights. Adorned with five family crests, it stands as the most formal of kimonos, measuring 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 60 inches (152 cm) in height.
A notable rarity is the presence of the artist's workshop stamp, visible in the detailed image. Despite the kurotomesode's traditional layout, this particular piece distinguishes itself with its remarkable expertise in yuzen painting and an unusually diverse color palette. Intended for a married woman, it features an additional inner lining to provide extra warmth, making it suitable for winter celebrations or festivities. The spring-themed design anticipates the impending season's colors and beauty.
