The cloths were then dyed, cut into abstract shapes, layered, and stitched together using both appliqué and reverse-appliqué techniques.

Vivid colors and strong ink outlines against a golden background are characteristic of Kano Motonobu (Japanese, 1476-1559), founder of the famous Kano school of painting, while the boldness is evocative of his grandson Kano Eitoku (Japanese, 1543-1590).
