Tonga is the only kingdom in the Pacific and is an island nation surrounded by beautiful seas. The history of Tonga began with the sea. The sea on the right and the sky on the left. It shows the Royal Palace, the Free Church of Tonga, the Basilica Church and the Neiafu Cathedral. You can also see the three stone towers of Ha'amonga Trilithon, an ancient ruin, and the palm tree with three-pronged end, Tonga's number one power spot. Hibiscus and plumeria further enhance the tropical mood of the kimono.

The sea and sky seen through a wreath of South Sea flowers, with accents of orange juice called 'otai, were drawn using the technique of Tsuzure-ori (figured brocade with a sculptured effect).
