This silk juban (under-kimono) is a luxurious example of mid-century ceremonial underclothing, specifically designed to be worn beneath a long-sleeved furisode. The garment is crafted from a vibrant coral-red rinzu (figured silk damask), which features an all-over woven pattern of auspicious fans and tsuzumi (traditional hand drums). These motifs are further enhanced with delicate painted outlining and shimmering metallic embroidery, adding a sense of three-dimensional luxury to the silk's surface.

A defining feature of this piece is the contrasting white silk lapel, which serves as a canvas for extensive and highly detailed embroidery. This intricate needlework would have been partially visible at the neckline when worn, providing a sophisticated floral accent to the overall ensemble. The combination of the saturated coral ground, the rhythmic repetition of the musical and fan motifs, and the refined embroidery on the lapel reflects the high status and artisanal attention to detail reserved for formal celebratory attire.

It measures 47 inches (119 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at a height of 51 inches (130 cm).
