The silver foil forms a wickerwork pattern on white satin silk on which cherry blossoms and maple leaves are embroidered. In contrast to the smooth, cold texture of the silver foil impressed on the fabric, the embroidered cherry blossoms and maple leaves appear as if softly floating due to the use of multicolored plain silk threads. The embroidery technique is exquisite. In fact, the flowers and leaves look as if they are falling. The soil on the back indicates the fact that this costume was worn under a Noh wig. The decorative technique employed in this Noh costume is a combination of surihaku ( impressed metallic foil ) and embroidery. In the surihaku technique, a paper stencil is first placed on the fabric, paste is applied to the open space, and foil is impressed on the pasted areas. Later, this term began to encompass Noh costumes using this technique.
