The ebicha hakama — a deep reddish-brown divided skirt (hakama) worn over a kimono — was the distinctive uniform of female students and schoolgirls during the Meiji and Taisho eras, the color associated with young women's education and the new spaces that were opening for them. Binnie's [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) composition featuring this garment situates the female figure at a historically specific moment in Japanese women's history, when the hakama became a symbol of modern female aspiration.
