- Physical Description
- This black silk crepe kimono is decorated with chrysanthemum motifs, and has an inner red lining.
- Subject Matter
- The technique used to create the design on this kimono is yuzen, developed in 17th century Japan. Yuzen require much skill and hard work, by first protecting the design area with a rice-paste resist and dying the rest of the cloth. Afterwards, the resist is removed and the design and details are hand-painted.
