This large uchishiki showcases a phoenix embroidered using metallic and silk threads on a red bast fiber background. Handwriting on the back cotton lining dates the dedication of this cloth to the year 1875, with a repair noted in 1973. In good condition, it does exhibit some minor holes, stains, and small areas of loose embroidery, mainly within the bird's legs as seen in the images provided. Measuring 84 inches by 51 inches (213 cm x 130 cm), this piece carries historical significance and craftsmanship worth noting.
