This costume has flowing water motifs of gold foil applied, using the surihaku technique, to the ground of white stripes crossing bands of red and green. Above that base pattern, seaweed, snail, abalone, scallop, and other motifs have been embroidered in a host of colors. The surihaku flowing water motifs have almost entirely worn off, but the tasteful stripe and band color scheme and the elaborate embroidery are more than worthy of a careful look. (Paragon or Puzzle?
