Taisho Boy's Kimono

Japan. 1912-1926. This Ro (sheer, for summer) silk boy's kimono was surely made for a rich family and for a special occasion, such as a wedding. This kimono is part of a set of kimono and white juban undergarment. The motifs were accomplished using yuzen-dyeing and surihaku gold outlining. Five family mon (family crests). Excellent condition, supporting the theory that this is a special, ceremonial kimono. It may have been worn only once. 33" from sleeve-end to sleeve-end x 40" height.
