It is fully embroidered or woven, on both sides, allowing for a front and back that are equally rich and detailed. Historically, it was worn for significant occasions, such as weddings or formal ceremonies. Its complete width and the complexity of its patterns make it a particularly sought-after item by collectors and kimono aficionados.
