The bright orange red hue of this dazzling uchikake is a true head-turner, changing your home into a beautiful art gallery!
A basketweave showers the crimson surface, giving it a wonderful texture and shimmering sheen. Crashing waves of pure gold flow through the background, accenting the red perfectly. Elegant white cranes soar above this scene, atop blomming flower gardens and geometric motifs.
Padding along the bottom hem gives this uchikake a beautiful shape.
