This shusu silk uchikake displays a sophisticated color palette of deep indigo blue contrasted with a pale celadon green interior, creating a striking visual harmony that reflects the refined aesthetic sensibilities of late 19th-century Japan. The five intricately embroidered family crests (mon) are rendered in golden thread, featuring a floral design.

The artistic execution demonstrates the influence of traditional Japanese decorative arts while simultaneously reflecting the Meiji period's openness to technical innovation and artistic refinement. The formal placement and repetition of these crests across the garment reflects the hierarchical nature of Meiji society while showcasing the technical mastery required to create such precisely executed decorative elements on luxury silk textiles.

It measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 62 inches (157 cm) in height.
