Woman's kimono cut in the traditional way and made from plain weave silk with an all-over near-repeating geometric design in black, white and yellow on a red ground. The exact technique has not been ascertained but the vendor from whom the kimono was purchased called it meisen. This seems to be a form of mechanical kasuri whereby the warps and wefts are printed, rather than tied and resist dyed, before weaving commences.
The top section of the kimono is lined with cream plain weave cotton, the lower section and collar band are lined with pink silk crêpe and the sleeves are lined with red plain weave cotton. There is a horizontal tuck tacked up just above waist level
