The vibrant birds and intricate foliage of this uchikake are simply brilliant, a wonderful way to brighten up your home.
The smooth vermillion surface is covered with a fantasy landscape of golden rivers, sparkling pine, rugged mountains and vivacious flowers of every kind. Above this energetic scene, richly colored pheasants soar, their feathers flowing in the wind.
This uchikake is padded along the bottom edge to create an appealing shape when displayed.
