From the Meisen kimono, which has a tachibana pattern woven in an arabesque style.
In ancient Japan, the tachibana (mandarin orange) was a symbol of "prosperity" and "longevity" and was believed to be a plant that grew wild in utopias.
Arabesque patterns are also auspicious patterns with meanings of ``prosperity of descendants'' and ``longevity'' due to the endless intertwining of vines.
The ground color purple is ``Nisemurasaki,'' a purple that became popular in the Kamakura and post-Kamakura eras as a color close to ``true purple,'' the most noble color.
Purple, which was all the rage in the 1920s and 1930s when Taisho Romanticism and Showa Modernism flourished, is often a similar color.
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 lined up at evenly spaced widths and are divided into upper and lower parts one by one, and the weft threads are threaded between them, which is repeated many times. It is characterized by the pattern being woven by varying the colors of the warp and weft threads, giving it a smeared texture. 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.
