This is a glamorous vintage Uchikake with dynamically spreading tail feathers across bodices and sleeves phoenix pattern, which is embroidered.
The elegantly shine golden threads are gorgeous.
Textile is exquisite soft and glossy silk with woven flying cranes on 'tatewaku'(waving lines) pattern.

There are discoloration and small patinas throughout.(B, E, F)
There are areas where are missing embroidered threads due to fray.(G)
There is a spot on the right front panel which is just like (G).
There are some other imperfections such as stains and a small hole.
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.

If you don't mind those missing embroidery threads, it is still in wearable condition.
Or, it could be a great display piece or stage costume.
