No:03001100Surihaku (Noh costume) with gold "mountain road" design on a pink ground

Date
1812/19C
Description
This “mountain roads” design has a fresh and almost modern feel. Free horizontal curves in gold foil on a pink ground create a sense of continuous movement and change as if walking along a winding mountain road. It is thought to have been the favorite kimono of the 12th Kaga-han Lord, MAEDA Narinaga. “Completed in April 1813” is proclaimed on its wrap.
