Shortened White Uchikake

Shortened White Uchikake
Japan
Late Edo or early Meiji (1840-1880)
$650.00

I am assuming that this antique uchikake was shortened and taken in at the bottom, as it is about 14" shorter than the average of this style. This very soft silk rinzu wedding robe has classic motifs of flying cranes, pine trees and bamboo accomplished utilizing yuzen resist dyeing as well as sagara, satin-stitch and couching embroidery. The condition is good, with several minor holes and light staining. 50" from sleeve-end to sleeve-end x 48" height.
