A child's kimono was made with waist and shoulder tucks that could be let out as the child grew. This kimono could be enlarged nearly fifteen inches in length and over four inches in width at the shoulder and was thus able to accommodate several years of growth. The textile combines scattered geometric motifs in warp and weft ikat (tate-yoko-gasuri) with pictorial representations of fans, pines, bamboo, and plum blossoms in weft ikat (yoko-gasuri). Pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms often occur together as a trio of congratulatory motifs, and the fan is also auspicious because its shape\u2014widening at one end\u2014signifies increase or growth. The linen-like asa fiber, in association with the motifs and techniques represented, suggest that this textile may be \u014cmi gasuri, ikat from Shiga Prefecture.Free picture Childs Kimono with Design of Pine, Bamboo, Plum Blossoms, and Fans integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
