Increíble
Boys Ceremonial Kimono. Early to mid Meiji (1868-1900), Japan. The Kimono Gallery. A plain silk miyamairi kimono used for christening a baby boy at a Shinto ceremony, featuring artistically rendered carp in a frothing sea. Yuzen-dyeing, bokashi painting, metallic and silk embroidery highlights. The Japanese have traditionally viewed the wild carp as a symbol of courage and strength, a significance stemming from the fact that such carp are constantly battling turbulent waters. This motif is associated with the virtues of the determined warrior, and in modern times it has been a metaphor for the qualities one seeks in a young male. Such similar scenes of carp in turbulent waters is a popular one in miyamairi boy’s kimonos, as Japanese parents want their boys to have the strength, resilience and determination of the wild carp. The scene continuation from the main body section to that on the sleeves, although always present in miyamairi, is particularly seamless in this example, allowing the kimono ‘canvas’ to reach its fullest potential.
