This smooth and glossy "shusu" (satin) weave furisode showcases motifs from the Noh play Hagomoro (The Feathered Robe). The furisode, featuring a rinzu (figured silk) inner lining dyed in "beni" (safflower) orange, has a slightly padded hem. It measures about 48 inches (122 cm) across the shoulders and stands at approximately 60 inches (152 cm) in height.

The Hagomoro legend tells the tale of Hakuryo, a poor fisherman who discovers a magical feathered robe hanging from a pine branch near Miho's Matsubara Beach. After taking possession of the robe and feeling wealthier, he encounters the owner, a Tenyyo, a female Buddhist immortal unable to return to heaven without the robe's powers. Initially hesitant, the fisherman eventually relents, allowing her to perform a celestial dance in exchange for its return, after which she ascends joyfully to heaven.

The choice of these motifs on a wedding robe may relate to the nearby Buddhist shrine known for fostering harmony between married couples for centuries. Notably, wedding robes typically bear five mon (family crests), unlike this example, raising curiosity. While resembling stage costumes from kabuki that lack family crests, this robe, possibly associated with a Tayuu (elite geisha from Kyoto), requires further research.

The scene depicted likely captures Hakuryo's first encounter with the magical feathered robe on a star-filled night by the seashore, the gold wings undoubtedly stirring his heart. An attached label inside the neck indicates "Tokyo Silk Company...Hollywood," presumably dating back to the early 20th century, suggesting this furisode was likely imported as an antique and resold in the U.S.
