In pre-modern Japan, the most precious kosode (kimono) of a deceased person might be donated to a temple to be dismantled and refashioned into a flat altar cloth (uchishiki). If such an altar cloth was later damaged, it might be sold off for fragments. These kosode fragments, which include such examples, were collected by the renowned painter Irie Hakō (1887–1948).
