Fine Japanese Couture Shibori Silk Furisode Kimono with Under Garment
About the Item
A spectacular Japanese silk kimono set with an outer furisode and an inner garment circa 1960-80s. The long sleeve furisode is of couture quality and made meticulously with the traditional shibori (tie dye) method. Small tiny pinches of fabric were individually tied and resistant died to create a striking design of blooming peony motifs in bright contrast red and white. The background was achieved in the same way but with black and white. The rendering of the design is superb in its stylized but realistic fashion. The composition considers a great deal on the positive and negative space as well as color play on the shadow. The Furisode has a thin silk inner lining with gradient red die on the edge. It is also equipped with a silk under garment of a complimentary pink hue with subtle variation in shade.
For a comparable Furisode with identical design but in blue, see item AK-RAK-2009-3-8 in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, showing in the last picture. It is possible that these garments were from the same maker.
