- Kimono, white figured silk satin with embroidered and resist-dyed decoration, Japan, 1780-1820 (en)
- Kosode (kimono with small sleeve openings) of white figured satin (rinzu) with a 1/4 weft-faced figure of key fret and flowers on a 4/1 warp-faced ground.
The all-over vertical design is of nandina branches and across the shoulders back and front are characters.
Both the nandina and the characters are depicted in orange-red, green and gold embroidery, black pigment, and in red-brown stencilling to imitate tie-dye (kata kanoko).
The sleeves of the garment have an inserted section at the bottom back and consequently the design does not match across this extra horizontal seam.
The garment is lined with plain weave thin silk, probably a later renewal. (en)
