Atsuita, a stately costume with clear and strong design, is mainly used for male roles.
This Atsuita robe contains two kinds of mythical Shishi lions on the cobblestone pattern. The lions are designed in an orderly manner on the fabric, but each of them has a different color arrangement. This rich color variation gives a stylish impression to this piece.
