Furisode (振袖) made of patterned orange silk, double lined in red, pink and orange silk through body, lapel and sleeves. The kimono displays bunches of large flowers and leaves in an off-white colour, with delicate green veins and gold paint trim, across most of the garment. Printed on top of these are decorative emblems with trailing ropes in a variety of colours, emphasized with gold paint and gold metallic wire. The robe is open at the front, with long hanging panels draped from the sleeves. Panels are open toward the body to show the double lining, with a small opening for the wrists at top.
