About the Item
Japanese boy’s omiyamairi with battleship and military aircraft. Textured silk, 43 x 33”, dyed, hand-painted, embroidered with gold and silver metallic thread and other silk embroidery thread. Pristine, unworn, condition. Omiyamairi are essentially good-luck swaddling for a 30 day-old Japanese child’s Shinto naming ceremony. The design on this deluxe garment goes right around to the front where the silhouettes of two more battleships appear. Even the belts have wave designs on the tips, which is very unusual. These garments were used only once and are often in basically perfect condition. And since the grand-parents bought these, they are very deluxe.. The LA County Museum owns a similar omiyamairi. The presence of single-wing aircraft (actual planes in fact) suggests a date of 1937 when the Japanese invasion of China was in full force.
