This pale turquoise silk kimono is woven in a repeating pattern of a floral motif, has wide, three-quarter length sleeves, and appears to be about knee-length. Facing the kimono, you see that it wraps over from our right to our left where it is tied under the arm with ribbons of the same fabric. The kimono has a black lining, as seen in the geometrically shaped opening at the neck. The back view of the kimono shows a black triangle shape at the neck.
