This chirimen silk uchikake is a stunning piece, measuring 51 inches (129.5 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 63 inches (160 cm) in height. It's adorned with intricate rural scenes depicting pavilions, bridges, boats, pine trees, rivers, and flourishing plum blossoms. The artistry here is exceptional, achieved through a blend of yuzen and sumi-e painting techniques, complemented by delicate silk embroidery enhanced with extensive use of gold thread couching.

The garment exhibits subtle color shading techniques, including 'bokashi', a gradual shade dying method marked by brush strokes, both dry and not-so-dry. The inner lining and lower hem, crafted from fine beni red silk, add depth to the piece. Despite the delicate nature of such old garments, this uchikake is in excellent condition, with even the fragile inner lining remaining near perfect.

This uchikake is believed to have been worn by a bride from a samurai household. The depictions of various bridges and pavilions might represent actual structures from that time. For instance, the bridge at the lower part could possibly depict the Uji bridge in Kyoto. These scenes of famous places, known as "meisho-e", were a statement of a bride's financial standing and leisure, signifying her ability to visit such locales.
