Uchikake Summary:This uchikake, the first offered on Kimono Source, is a modest piece, in that many uchikake are extremely flashy. (what is an uchikake?) The base color of this garment is a pale rose pink. The lining and the padded bottom hem of the uchikake is a deep scarlet orange color. The body of the uchikake contains designs of rectangular panels. These panels resemble washi (traditional Japanese paper used for origami and other crafts) or woodblock prints, and show depictions of stormy ocean waves, clouds at sunset (yuuyake-gumo, in Japanese), and various abstract and not-so-abstract geometric patterns. The condition of this uchikake is very good, with a couple of small and unobtrusive spots (one on back of left sleeve, one on right shoulder - see pictures). What a magnificent wall hanging this uchikake would make!
