The garment is a traditional Japanese inner garment called a nagajuban. The top portion of the garment is light green with small darker green dots. The sleeves are wide and short. There are three patches with black Japanese characters on each sleeve and the front. The main body of the garment is divided into four horizontal sections: a brown top section, a sage green middle section, and two brown bottom sections, one lighter than the other. The garment is displayed on a light gray background.
