“This yûzen formal outer robe was ordered as a part of a bridal costume for the daughter of an Osaka merchant. Conceived of as a depiction of one hundred birds, this garment displays ninety-nine birds on the face, including a peacock, pigeons, roosters, chickens, and a central phoenix with wide-spread wings; the hundredth bird, a lone red-crested white crane against a rising sun decorates the lining at the back.
The design sketch is reputed to be by Kôno Bairei（1844-1895）who trained when young with the Maruyama and Shijô schools and was active among the Kyoto artists in the early Meiji period (1868-1912). In the Meiji period, the search for designs for a new style of yûzendyeing led to ordering sketches from famous painters of nihonga (Japanese-style painting).” Meiji Period, final quarter 19th century, Japan. Kyoto National Museum.
