Bonnet 169831Kimono with Stylized Flowing Water second quarter of the 20th century Japan The virtuosity of the weavers and dyers who collaborated on this kimono is best revealed when the garment is viewed in a raking light, and the gold- and silver-painted stream shimmers against the underlying woven water pattern. When wrapped around the body, with the left front overlapping the right, the highlighted stream flows from just below the wearers obi sash toward the center back hem, where it meets the stream flowing from the right front. When the robe is fully open, the water patterns resonate with similar stylized flowing-water motifs in works by contemporaneous painters working in the Rinpa idiom, such as Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942).In contrast to water patterns by his predecessor Ogata K?rin (1658-1716), Sekkas water designs emphasize movement and turbulence rather than stillness..

Each eye openings is bordered by an iron frame in the shape of an eye with eyelashes in the form of pierced scrollwork all around the edges.
