Kimono

The Victoria and Albert Museum

The Victoria and Albert Museum
London, United Kingdom

The combination of delicate embroidery and dark blue satin fabric give this kimono a striking, lustrous appearance. This kimono has a design of ducks on rippling water among flowers. Paired ducks are a symbol of marital harmony, so this kimono may have been part of a wedding trousseau.
