This high-grade silk light jacket is adorned with a royal cart and a poem, evoking romantic themes reminiscent of the 'golden age' of the Heian period from a millennium ago. The abstract fan motifs are meticulously crafted using urushi and fine coated gold, silver, and rust-colored metallic thread inserts.
The royal cart motif is created through yuzen-painting, enriched with embroidery highlights, while the kanji poem is also rendered using yuzen-painting. Notably, the family crest or 'mon' is unique and distinctive. The jacket measures 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 40 inches (102 cm) in height.
