Item Description
A pair of cushions handmade from a vintage oriental silver fan design wedding Uchikake kimono backed with cotton velvet. Japanese Mid-Showa Period. Circa 1955.
The uchikake is a lined silk robe with a wadded or padded hem, worn over another garment without a sash, usually for formal occasions or stage performances. The origins of the use of this garment among women of the samurai elite can be traced back to the Kamakura period (1185–1333)
