Ebony Momiji Pavilion Kimono

An exquisite black silk kimono richly adorned with painterly scenes of pagodas and pavilions, delicately interwoven with momiji (maple leaves) and sakura (cherry blossoms). Rendered in earthy reds, soft greens, and touches of gold, the design evokes the serene beauty of traditional Japanese gardens and the timeless charm of ukiyo-e landscapes.
The vibrant orange lining offers a bold, warm contrast — symbolising both autumn’s fleeting brilliance and the quiet renewal that follows.
Likely from the mid-Showa era (circa 1950s–1970s), this piece reflects a period when artisans masterfully reinterpreted classical motifs through refined dyes and elegant silk finishes.
A work of wearable art that balances depth and detail — celebrating the changing seasons, the poetry of architecture, and the enduring harmony between nature and design.
