The design on display here echoes an exquisitely embroidered kimono crafted in the Edo period (1615-1868), dyed in rich hues derived from safflower petals, known as beni, and lavished with golden lacquer. This particular motif harkens back to a time when such elaborate attire, denoted as 'Karaori', was donned in the traditional Noh theatre, famous for their intricate woman's kimonos. Dating back centuries, this design brings a touch of Japanese history and theatrical elegance to your personal notes.
