A technique of producing white patterns on a dark ground, known as shiro agari, became popular in the mid-18th century. This kosode (small-sleeved kimono) is decorated with triangular forms filled with white plum blossoms and chrysanthemums. The stylized design of the plum branches, bent into a "Z" shape, and the abbreviated chrysanthemums, can also be seen in the paintings of Itô Jakuchû (1718-1800), popular in Kyoto at the time and was probably influenced by Jakuchû's works.
