About
This jacket is decorated with flowers symbolizing good fortune, baskets of peaches symbolizing longevity, and the Eight Precious Things of Buddhism (umbrella, double fish, vase, lotus, conch shell, unending knot, canopy, and the wheel of the law). The bright colors of the patchwork design helped audiences spot the actor on stage and imparted a dramatic, theatrical look.
