  • This kimono has been embroidered with an image of dragons, the most powerful of all mythical beasts, flying above Mt Fuji, the quintessential symbol of Japan. The striking red silk ground makes the image all the more dramatic. This potent and dynamic imagery is unusual for a woman's kimono, but it is possible that this garment belonged to a high-ranking courtesan. At some point in its history, the kimono has been altered; it has been shortened and a dark collar and hem added, possibly because of damage caused by wear. The sleeves have been attached to the body of the garment the wrong way around, so the design is not continuous. Rather than being a mistake, this may be the result of a humourous Meiji-period fashion for such visual ambiguity. (en)
