This almost crepe-like orange silk features vibrant floral motifs in multiple colors. What sets this piece apart is its preparation for "recycling." Historically, when individuals couldn't afford a new kimono, they'd re-dye existing ones. This fabric bears shadowy outlines of a new pattern on its reverse side, and some of these lines faintly show through in the white areas of the panel. Despite this unique characteristic, it remains in very good condition. Its measurements are 13.5 inches (34 cm) x 59 inches (150 cm).
