The katabira is a linen-like ramie or hemp kimono worn in midsummer. The type shown here was worn by warrior-class women on formal occasions. Lobsters and sacred Shinto ropes (shimenawa) decorated with ferns are auspicious symbols of the New Year. In the Edo period (1615–1868) it was common to wear cool-looking wintery motifs in summer.
