The kimono for the baby boy's christening at the Shinto ceremony measures approximately 33 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 44 inches in height. It is adorned with yuzen-painted martial motifs, notably featuring the rare and prominent tethered falcon motif. Falcons were highly regarded for their qualities and symbolized the owner's soul. During the Edo period, falcon-related art, including depictions of falcons tethered to stands, gained popularity among the samurai and nobility.

The kimono holds symbolic elements like the long silk embroidery threads known as 'good luck threads' or 'back guard', placed by the boy's mother. These threads, hanging from the upper back collar, were believed to possess protective powers over the young male wearer, with the tassels symbolizing a means for parents to grasp and safeguard the child from evil forces.

Distinct stitching patterns down the back determined the kimono's gender specification, with the straight line of paired dots and stitches, and a diagonal line running to the left indicating it was meant for a boy. Hand-sewn protective symbols on the front, near the ties, aimed to envelop the son in a protective aura, reflecting a parent's desire for safeguarding their child in an era where child mortality rates were high, utilizing every possible good luck talisman.
