The padded hem on this kimono indicates that it is an outer kimono, or uchikake, designed for winter wear. Uchikake were worn without an obi, the sash that secures the garment, so no part of the design would have been obscured. The shibori, or tie-dyeing, technique has been used to create a pattern of paper gift ornaments in the shape of butterflies. This has been combined with embroidered plum blossoms. This auspicious motif was a popular one in winter, for it suggested that the arrival of spring was not too far away. This very formal kimono made have been worn for a wedding ceremony. Wedding kimono were decorated with auspicious motifs. Here, folded paper male and female butterflies symbolise harmony for the newly married couple. The pattern has been created using the tie-dyeing technique and is further embellished with plum blossoms embroidered in glossy, untwisted silk and shimmering gold-wrapped threads. [29/02/2020] [] Outer kimono for a young woman (uchikake) of figured satin silk (<i>rinzu</i>). The <i>rinzu</i> 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.
