Kimono made for a Western man made of grey-blue silk (yuki tsumugi) with a rep weave. It is lined in dark blue silk. The front edge of the kimono is finished with a basting stitch that ends at each corner in the stylized motif of a pine tree. To the Japanese the form of the pine tree resembles the shape of a man; thus, two pine trees suggest a long and happy marriage of two individuals. This kimono is accompanied by an envelope containing two documentary silk fragments related specifically to the garment, as well as the accessories not made specifically for this kimono, but purchased with it as an outfit.
