Description:
Mannequin; life-sized standing woman. A) head with wig. B,C) arms. D,E) legs. F) furisode, white silk crepe (chirimen) paste resist dyed with wide curbing areas of red that resemble a flowing stream. Superimposed over the entire surface of the fabric is a dyed pattern of branches of maple leaves with embroidered accents. This design refers to a famous poem about the river Tatsuta on which the fallen leaves resemble richly colored patterned silks. This furisode is to be worn in the autumn to view the maples (fide Mrs. Mary Hays). G) obi, blue silk weft-faced plain weave patterned with continuous supplementary weft floats has a design of autumn flowers, namely chrysanthemums and two of the seven plants of autumn, ballon flower and Chinese agrimony. H) obijime, of red silk. The simulated haneri (replaceable collar on the (under kimono) nagajuban) has a woven pattern with a few accents of embroidery. This is unlike real haneri which are embroidered. Accordign to Mr. Yamanobe the obi and kimono patterns are circa 1915. The garments were made for the mannequins and are not those actually worn by women. The visible undergarments are simply edgings of folded pieces of patterned fabrics sewn onto plain white undergarments. The furisode is a designed garment. The hairstyle has "drooped" over the years and needs to be fixed (fide Mrs. Mary Hays). Made for exhibits in the Japanese Pavilion at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exhibit in San Francisco.
