This uchishiki, woven in slit-tapestry style, features intricate phoenix, peony, and lotus motifs on silk. It's in very good condition, measuring 25 inches x 25 inches (63.5 cm x 63.5 cm) along its sides. The peony symbolizes nobility, while the phoenix represents auspicious elements like longevity, resurrection, and peace. The lotus, significant in Buddhism, often supports images of revered figures like the Buddha, symbolizing the soul's journey from materialism to enlightenment. Its three stages—bud, utpala (mid-blossom), and full bloom—represent past, present, and future respectively. Among the lotus colors, white signifies spiritual perfection and mental purity (bodhi). Notably, a deep red band surrounds the lotus on this textile, a sacred color associated with the five Buddhas, monk's garments, and powerful protective qualities in rituals and deeds.
