This red kimono for an infant girl has an embroidered crest in the center of its back depicting the three friends of winter. During the Edo period (1615–1868), wearing red garments was one of the recommended methods for treating smallpox. The stitched talisman (semamori) on the back tells us that this kimono was made for a little girl, perhaps one who was sick with smallpox.
