Yosaburo Kitade is a Kyoto Yuzen dyeing and weaving artist who, over two generations, pursued only authentic techniques and colors, creating numerous artistic works. Known as an artist who presented to the Imperial Family, his unique style, which fuses sensitivity and art across time, is filled with new excitement and the joy of profound beauty. The design of the Great King Pine emerges from the soft gradations of a tasteful wasabi green and pale incense color, and the design motif of delicate small flowers added with skillful composition creates a "unique, mature elegance" through the beauty of color insertion, truly "like a flower blooming eternally." The innovative worldview that appears and disappears in the design invites you to an unknown dream world. This is a brand new, unused item, with only slight dullness on the hem foil pattern from storage, and was only worn for photography. It is a "hand-sewn" garment with basting threads still attached.
