"The Grateful Crane" / Kimono Art, Textile Wall Art, Japanese Art

About the Item

Kimono Art "The Grateful Crane" by Kimono-Couture ・Japanese Art ・Textile Art ・Framed Wall Art 【Description of Kimono Art by Kimono-Couture】 Kimono Art is a form of Japanese Art that utilizes the highest quality vintage kimono obi, meticulously crafted by Kimono-Couture artisans. Japanese obi, traditional crafts that embody advanced skills and deep dedication, are painstakingly produced through numerous intricate steps. The colors and patterns of these obi hold various wishes and meanings. However, as Western culture has become predominant, the kimono culture has declined, and today, opportunities to appreciate its beauty are limited to special events like weddings and graduations. Therefore, Kimono-Couture takes on the challenge of reviving these obi as works of Framed Wall Art & Kimono Tapestry. Kimono-Couture skilled artisans are responsible for every aspect of the process, from sourcing the obi to the completion of Kimono Art, enhancing the beauty of these obi to the fullest. In the following, we will explain the wishes and meanings woven into this Kimono Art. 【Description of this Kimono Art "The Grateful Crane"】 This Wall Art is made from kimono obi, a traditional Japanese costume. Skilled Japanese craftsmen carefully process and create this work of art. We named this product The Grateful Crane. The Crane's Repayment is one of the Japanese folktales, a mysterious story about an old man who rescues a crane from a trap, and the crane transforms into a human woman to repay the favor to the old man and his wife. It is said that this story contains the lesson that "if you do something good, something else good will surely come back to you". We have titled this product with that meaning in mind. The golden silk fabric is decorated with cranes and other patterns featuring young pine trees and waves. The crane is a symbol of healthy longevity, as it lives quite long among birds. In Japan, there is a custom of folding origami cranes for loved ones. For example, "Senbazuru", in which a thousand cranes are folded to make a wish for recovery from illness, victory, or an entrance examination, is a world-renowned art form. Wakamatsu (young pine tree) is the pattern of a young pine tree that has just sprouted, signifying freshness and promise. Pine trees can be as long as 200 to 400 years old, and some are thousands of years old. Pine trees are also a symbol of vitality and longevity, as they thrive in harsh environments that are inhospitable to other trees and produce blue leaves all year round. The "Seigaiha" pattern, based on the motif of waves, is an auspicious pattern that evokes the bounty of the vast ocean, and the infinite pattern of waves is filled with wishes for eternal happiness and a peaceful life for people. The name "Seigaiha" also appears in The Tale of Genji, the world's oldest long story, which depicts Hikaru Genji (the main character) dancing the court music called "Seigaiha". We hope you enjoy this work of art, which is filled with wonderful meanings and decorated with an auspicious pattern.
