EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Kuro Tomesode, a traditional Japanese kimono from the Meiji period (1868-1912), believed to have been created around 1880. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail in this garment are truly remarkable. The unknown creator of this exquisite piece employed various techniques to bring it to life. The kimono is embroidered with silk gold leaf over lacquered paper strip wrapped silk, using individual back stitches laid work and couching methods. Additionally, resist dyeing and painted hon yuzenzome tsutsugaki bokashizome hikizome techniques were applied, resulting in a visually striking design. Made from high-quality silk plain weave heiken fabric, the robe's upper body and sleeve lining also feature silk plain weave textiles. This choice of materials adds depth and texture to the overall composition. The Kuro Tomesode is displayed in full length, allowing viewers to appreciate its grandeur up close. Its vibrant colors and elaborate patterns reflect Japan's rich cultural heritage during the Meiji period. Located at the Art Institute of Chicago, this photograph preserves an important artifact from the 19th century for future generations to admire. It serves as a testament not only to the skillful artistry of its anonymous creator but also as a window into Japan's history and tradition of textile weaving.
