About this work
Slightly lower in the kimono hierarchy is the tsukesage, a smart garment for occasions such as tea ceremonies. Comparison with the more formal examples to the left reveals that the less formal the kimono, the more stylised the decoration. The undecorated area in the middle of the kimono accommodates the colourful, wide sash, or obi.
