Outer kimono for a young woman (uchikake) of figured satin silk (rinzu). The rinzu has a self-pattern of small diapers and flowers. The design of paper gift ornaments in the shape of butterflies has been created using the kanoko shibori (tie-dyeing) technique with the ground dyed black. The kimono has then been embroidered with plum blossom in silk and couched gold threads. The garment is lined with plain weave red silk which is revealed at the wadded hem. The garment would have been worn on a formal occasion, perhaps for the young woman's wedding.
