Kimono for an Unmarried Woman (furisode) for New Year

anoniem, anonymous, anonymous, anoniem, 1920 - 1940

Plants seem to be growing up against the woodwork of the fabric’s woven background pattern of a garden fence. The young pine shoots are a New Year’s motif and this formal kimono may well have been made for this occasion. The flowering plum and various plants with red berries herald the coming month.
