This luxurious silk kimono showcases woven stripes with intervals of orange, red, and silver-metallic supplementary threads. Its "doura" (upper lining) is made of natural hand-spun and hand-woven silk, while the "hakkake" (lower lining) is crafted from "kinsha" (fine crepe) silk. Measuring 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 58 inches (147 cm) in height, it exudes elegance and fine craftsmanship.
