This rare silk uchikake boasts intricate silk and gold-metallic embroidery depicting wisteria, peonies, tatewaku (serpentine lines), and stenciled imitation tie-dyeing (kata kanoko). Measuring 47 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 60 inches in height (119.5 cm x 152.5 cm), this exceptional garment, though in good condition, exhibits some faded areas in the background color, a visible 'kink' in the 'full, front closed' image, and alterations at the bottom—a removal of padding and a repositioned hem sewn a few inches inside.

The red background, derived from benibana (safflower), signifies its commission likely by the samurai or nobility class due to its rarity, expense, and restricted use. Notably, this piece stands as the sole existing example of its style outside museum collections. Other similar examples reside in Japanese museums, notably one in the Tokyo National Museum (detailed in "When Art Became Fashion," catalogue 48, p. 257) and another featured on page 4 of "Japanese Kimono Designs of the Nomura Collection."
