fun fact: 
The pattern of the kimono was created using a hand tie-dyeing method called <em>kasuri</em>.

digital description: 
The simple, geometric, flat design of this kimono was inspired by styles first made popular in the brief but culturally vibrant Taishō period (1912-26). The hand-spun raw silk, <em>tsumugi</em> in Japanese, has irregularities—small nubs—that give the textile a special texture favored by those who prized seeing evidence of the handmade nature of their garments.
