This elegant chirimen (silk crepe) fukusa (gift cover), dating to the late Meiji period (1880–1912), is a refined example of celebratory textile art. Measuring 24 inches by 25 inches (61 cm x 64 cm), the cloth is crafted from a high-quality cream silk ground and serves as a pair to a similar ceremonial piece.

The composition features a sophisticated arrangement of auspicious longevity motifs rendered through delicate yuzen dyeing and ink-wash techniques. A tall, slender white porcelain vase holds a branch of pine (matsu), a symbol of endurance, while lush peonies in various stages of bloom occupy the foreground, representing nobility and prosperity. Beside the vase sits a scholar's rock and a small teapot with cups, suggesting a refined, scholarly atmosphere. The upper left field contains poetic calligraphic inscriptions and the artist's seal, while a prominent gold couched family crest (mon) of the gift giver is positioned in the lower right. The piece is finished with a vibrant red silk lining and original silk tassels.
