Embroidered and Painted Kimono from Japan, Early 20th Century. Size: 35'' x 36'' (89 x 91 cm). This captivating kimono is a testament to the artistry of early 20th-century Japan. It features an enchanting rural landscape meticulously embroidered and painted throughout, with a vibrant array of multicolored trees that transport you to a serene countryside scene. The kimono's design thoughtfully divides it into three sections: the top third is a tranquil sky blue, followed by a middle third in creamy hues, and finally, a deep blue that symbolizes the transition from the sky to the water, creating a harmonious gradation effect. Turning to the back of the kimono, you'll find two splendid birds, skillfully embroidered using gold and silver threads, perched on two decorative posts adorned with delicate flowers. One of these posts is adorned with a charming red cord elegantly tied in a bow, adding a touch of grace to this already enchanting piece.
