About the Item

A well preserved Japanese Meisen kimono hand-sewn from woven Ikat Silk circa 1920-30s (Taisho to early Showa period). The kosode style kimono (small sleeve), tailored from raw silk with bold geometrical pattern of arrowheads and lines in contrasting black and yellow colorways. The silk shows a beautiful and subtle double ikat weave. The highly graphic Art Deco pattern dated this kimono to 1920-30s when the aesthetic of Japanese fashion was connected to the global taste. It was a great example of the high end Meisen silk kimono that was popular during the period. It is lined with red and white silk in its interior. Meisen kimonos were hand-sewn from silk that made accessible to the mass population and sold in the department stores in Japan at the time (like ready-to wear). The lower price of the silk production and improvement of the weaving techniques helped the accessibility, although the price and quality varied and went hand in hand. This kimono would be considered a luxury garment because of the finer material it was made from. The precision of the pre-dye was the key to the creation. Ikat weaving was originated in Southeast Asia and spread to Japan Mainland in the 17th century via Okinawa (14th century). The cotton production accelerated the development of the textile industry on a much larger scale by then in the Edo period when Kasuri became very popular among the general population.
