Impressive antique kimono outfit, featuring lively meisen weave kimono with bright yuri (lilies) over basho (Japanese fiber banana) leaves. The lilies are echoed on the summer obi belt. Meisen (a kind of ikat technique) was all the rage during Taisho and Showa eras. The long sleeves are also a tell-tale of pre wwii period kimono. -- source link
