Showcasing silk dyed with beni (the pigment extracted from safflower petals) and lacquered in gold, this kimono design dates to the Edo period (1615 1868), when it was used as a costume for the theatrical style known as Noh. Karaori refers specifically to the exquisitely embroidered woman s kimono that traditional Noh theatre was known for. Both the material itself and the pattern depicted would have helped tell the story of the character.
