Kimono con disegni di conchiglie e alghe

early 17th century
Not on view
Il delicato ricamo di questo raro kimono (kosode) trae ispirazione dal paesaggio naturale della costa giapponese, con le sue spiagge disseminate di alghe e conchiglie. La stoffa di base, intessuta con motivi floreali su uno sfondo arabescato, era stata importata dalla Cina. In Giappone poi la tela bianca fu tinta con la tecnica della tintura a riserva per ottenere l’effetto di banchi di sabbia irregolari, su cui poi furono ricamati i disegni marini. I particolari in foglia d’oro sulle fasce azzurre alternate fanno risaltare i disegni floreali del tessuto.
