Kimono for a Baby (Ubugi) with Maple Leaves and Hats (Tori-kabuto) for a Japanese Court Dance 産衣 黄麻地紅葉鳥兜模様うぶぎ きあさじもみじとりかぶともよう
Description
This kimono was made for a small baby on their first ever visit to a shrine. It features a design of autumn leaves and hats known as [tori-kabuto], which were worn for a Japanese courtly dance. Such a design suggests that a girl from a samurai family wore it late in the Edo period (1603–1868).
