This chirimen (crepe) silk kimono portrays painted snowed "ume" (plum) branches and "kiku" (chrysanthemum) motifs, enhanced by several groups of supplementary weft thread inserts. Adorned with three embroidered mon (family crests), signaling its semi-formal nature, it features a hand-spun and woven silk doura (inner upper lining). There are slight stains on the upper left front and inner lining. Its dimensions measure around 50 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 61 inches in height, or approximately 127 centimeters by 155 centimeters.
