This long-sleeved kimono (for an unmarried woman), has lavishly blooming peonies, a small bridge, and fans decorated with peonies and fur. This mysterious design symbolizes the Noh play Shakkyō (Stone Bridge), in which lions dance in celebration amidst peonies. Kimonos with literary motifs hidden in landscapes, called goshodoki ("Palace Designs"), were popular among samurai women.
