Description:
Mannequin; life-sized kneeling adolescent girl. A) head with wig. B,C) arms. D,E) legs. F) furisode ("swinging sleeves"), a designed garment made of pink silk crepe (chirimen) damask patterned with the lozenge called the "hananibishi," singly and in groups, which is paste resist dyed with large chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms with embroidered accents and touches of gold and silver paint. G) obi, silk, green and gold weft-faced plain weave in a pattern of bamboo trunks and leaves. H) obijime, orange and gold on white. 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. According to Mr. Yamanobe the obi and kimono patterns are circa 1915. The visible undergarments are simply edgings of folded pieces of patterned fabrics sewn onto plain white undergarments. The garments were made for the mannequins and are not those really worn by women. The furisode is soiled; face gashed at eye and left cheek and mended. The obi on this specimen is not properly tied. The hair style is also strange and has no name, perhaps a piece is missing in front (fide Mrs. Mary Hays).
