This silk woman's light jacket showcases large yellow and red "yukira" (snowflake) motifs created using the shibori technique against a blue background. The base fabric employs a seldom-seen textured bamboo motif achieved through a unique figured 3D weave technique known as "kawari-ori" ("change weave"). Adorning the garment is a single dyed "mon" (family crest), indicating its use as a semi-formal garment for festivals or significant social occasions. Its measurements are approximately 50 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 38 inches in height, or about 127 centimeters by 97 centimeters.
