Red crepe with a tie-dyed and embroidered pattern of a mandarin orange (tachibana) tree and scattered shipp� motifs. Lining: Red plain weave silk dyed with safflower (beni). The lining at the bottom is padded to form a fuki, an addition to the length of the garment that allowed it to fall properly.
