This superbly-crafted silk jacket showcases yuzen-painted "orizuru" (paper birds) beautifully highlighted with satin stitch and metallic thread embroidery. Its base, the rinzu silk, is quite unique and effective, textured to mimic the ribbed form of bamboo leaves. Given its exceptional craftsmanship, it's likely that this garment was quite expensive at the time and commissioned by a wealthy family. It features a single mon and stands as a testament to the wealth and discerning taste of its owners.
