Boro Child's Kimono - Katazome Florals, Genji-mon and Plovers
A beautiful, rustic, and patched boro child's kimono.
The principle cloth on this garment has a fantastic indigo katazome pattern: flying plovers and "Genji-mon" - geometrical design patterns which originally symbolized the combinations of the fragrances in the kodo incense game.
The sleeves are a complimentary cool gray floral pattern, also stencil dyed.
A collectible and fantastic example of children's clothing in rural Japan, these children's kimono are becoming harder and harder to come by.
Early 1900's
Dimensions: 39" width; 36.5"length; pit to pit 21"
