We were told by a man familar with japanese antiques that this was an execptional uchikake which was probably owned and used by a very wealthy family. He mentioned the stitching being gold and hand stitched...? There appears to be a basting stitch along some areas like the sleeves and hem. It is very heavy, almost 10 pounds.

This original watercolor painting is of a lion, a lioness and her cub.  The lion is standing with his family looking into the heavens.  The lioness is looking to her cub.  The painting could easily be a photograph due to its realism.  The painting was done by Alice Christy in the 1890's.  My aunt owned the painting in the Minn./St. Paul area.  The paiting is matted and in the original gold frame of the 1800's.
