Young women of the merchant and warrior classes preferred opulent and flamboyant designs. The design and decoration of this robe suggest that it was once a furisode for a younger woman who kept wearing it after she was married but shortened its sleeves to reflect her new status. It is lavishly decorated with an overall pattern of peonies, chrysanthemums, wisteria, and chA'kei (a type of folding fan). The underlying silk was dyed with safflower to produce the robes reddish-orange color, often used for young womens clothing.); eMinneapolis Institute of Art; Gift of funds from Ellen Wells; Japanese, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Kimono (furisode) from the late 18th century. The intricate design and luxurious materials used in this robe reflect the opulence and flamboyance favored by young, unmarried women of the merchant and warrior classes during Japan's Edo period. The exquisite damask silk, silk threads, and metallic accents create a mesmerizing display of craftsmanship. Originally intended for a younger woman, it is evident that she continued to wear this furisode even after getting married. To signify her new status, she had the sleeves shortened while preserving its beauty. The vibrant reddish-orange color of the robe was achieved through safflower dyeing - a hue commonly associated with young women's clothing at that time. The overall pattern features delicate peonies, chrysanthemums, wisteria blossoms, and chA'kei folding fans. This remarkable piece is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Its generous dimensions of 166.4x127.6 cm allow viewers to fully appreciate every intricacy woven into its fabric. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to marvel at the timeless elegance captured within this historical artifact from Japanese culture.
