This plain-weave silk kimono presents evenly-spaced broad vertical stripes accentuated by irregularly placed red supplementary thread highlights running horizontally. The plain weave technique gives the fabric a reflective sheen. Inside, the chirimen (crepe) bright green silk susomawashi (inner lower lining) contrasts with the doura (upper inner lining) crafted from plain hand-spun and woven silk. Its measurements are approximately 49 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 56 inches in height, or about 124 centimeters by 142 centimeters.
