Dobuku Coat with Paulownias and Arrows in Tsujigahana (Stitch-Resist Tie-Dyeing) on White Nerinuki (

Museum No.
IK430

According to a legend, in 1590, during the Battle of Odawara, Nanbu Nobunao gave one hundred horses and fifty hawks to Regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a gift. In return, he received a Wakizashi sword and a coat. In 1896, the Dobuku coat kept by the Nanbu family was identified as the Regent Hideyoshi's thank-you gift. This coat was tailored in the Doaki-style using white cloth. The part between the breast and the shoulder was dyed in purple Tsubotare design whereas the skirt part is decorated with a Yabusama design. Paulownias are scattered on the white background. All the designs are rendered with the delicate Tsujigahana tie-dyed method on the white texture without additional painting. This piece demonstrates the confident ability of the Tsujigahana artists.
