Kimono with Cockscomb Flowers. Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Overall: 60 7/16 x 50 9/16 in. (153.5 x 128.5 cm).The early twentieth century saw an interest in objective, near-photographic naturalism in yuzen-dyed and painted kimono patterns, such as the stand of cockscomb flowers on the lower half of this robe. In English and Japanese, the name of the showy cockscomb flower, or keito (literally, "chicken's head"), celebrates the flamboyant head of the rooster. The pattern on this robe could almost serve as an illustration of a 1915 poem by Nagatsuka Takashi (1879-1915), who was known for his acute sensitivity to the progression of the seasons:Keito wa hietaki aki no hi ni haete iyo-iyo akaku sae ni keru kamo Cockscomb flowersresponding to the chillof autumn dayswill turn even redder when the sun comes up.--Trans. John T. Carpenter. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
