Kimono Art / Japanese Art / Kimono Tapestry, "The Queen of Peacocks"

About the Item

This kimono tapestry is made from a traditional kimono obi and is a one-of-a-kind piece created by skilled Japanese artisans. This kimono obi is made of silk and gold leaf and is decorated with an arabesque pattern. The arabesque pattern is based on ivy, which has a strong life force and grows in all directions. Because it represents vitality, the arabesque pattern was used in the Edo period (1600-1868) as a symbol of longevity and prosperity. This kimono obi is also embroidered with a peacock, known for its beautiful feathers. The peacock symbolises "compassion", "fertility" and "good health". Because its life force is so strong that it eats poisonous snakes and insects, the peacock is believed to ward off evil spirits and prevent misfortune and suffering. The peacock is surrounded by various flowers of the four seasons: wisteria, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, silver grass, pine trees and peonies. We are proud to present you with this Japanese kimono tapestry, which we are sure will amaze you. Bring this wonderful gem into your home and enjoy the elegance of ancient Japan.

We are proud to present this Kimono tapestry, embroidered with peacocks and flowers of the four seasons on a silk fabric based on the traditional color called “Kinari.” The peacock symbolizes “compassion,” “fertility” and “good health.” Because its life force is so strong that it eats poisonous snakes and insects, the peacock is believed to ward off evil spirits and prevent against “misfortune” and “suffering.” Japan is famous for its drastically different seasons.

Japanese obi, traditional crafts that embody advanced skills and deep dedication, are painstakingly produced through numerous intricate steps.
