"Kosode (kimono with small sleeve openings) of red and white figured satin (rinzu). The rinzu has a self-pattern of small diapers and flowers. The all-over design consists of fruiting branches of oranges (tachibana) and paper gift ornaments in the shape of butterflies. Some of the oranges are stitch reserved in white against the red ground while others are executed in gold laid work couched with red silk stitches. The leaves are embroidered in satin stitch in two shades of green untwisted silk. The stems are likewise embroidered in black although the iron content of the dye has rotted the embroidery silk, leaving the painted design showing. The butterflies are reserved in white tie-dye (shibori), sometimes the outline only is picked out in the technique and sometimes the entire design is filled with shibori. The garment is lined with scarlet plain weave thin silk and the cuffs have a facing of red cr\u00EApe. There is a small wadded hem."@en . . . .
