From a Meisen kimono with a pattern of leaves woven into a ripple pattern.

Summer kimonos were a luxury item for the wealthy at the time, and Meisen summer kimonos were especially rare.

This is an unusual design in which diagonal ripples and leaves are woven over the checkerboard pattern of Kasuri.

By layering auspicious patterns that are good for good luck and used for warding off evil spirits and for celebrations, it can be said that the pattern is a combination that wishes for the happiness of the wearer.

The wave pattern has the meaning of ``eternity'', ``immortality'', and ``longevity'' due to the appearance of continuous waves.

Since this is a summer kimono, the fabric is transparent and light.


Meisen - A plain -woven silk fabric using a technique called kasuri . This is a yarn-dyed textile that dyes the threads before they are woven. The warp threads are arranged at evenly spaced widths and are divided one by one into upper and lower parts, and the weft threads are threaded between them, which is repeated many times. It is characterized by the texture of the pattern, which is created by weaving with different colors of the warp and weft threads. Meisen was all the rage during the Taisho and Showa periods, but today it is a valuable textile that is only produced in small numbers.
