Fantastic Edo-komon kimono created by national treasure Rokutani Baiken, with an allegory pattern for "Peace" showing doves flying above people and buildings.
Edo komon is a type of kimono with itty-bitty-small patterns. Those are set on fabric using Ise-katagami (paper stencils, made waterproof with persimmon juice) and nori (paste/glue made from glutinous rice or wheat flour), and fabric is then dyed before washing the glue away.
