This rinzu silk jacket showcases large, striking fans alongside a pattern of 'narihira-bishi' and 'kiri' motifs, creating an intricate arabesque design. The fabric possesses notable texture. There's slight soiling on the front and a small black stain on a grey fan at the back. It measures 49 inches (125 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 31 inches (79 cm) in height.
