  • Japanese Hand-Painted and Embroidered Silk Kimono with Mt. Fuji Eagles, Framed
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    A majestic late 1980s Japanese Showa period Sakai clan hand-painted, dyed, and embroidered silk kimono with eagles and Mt. Fuji in a monumental custom-made silk-lined giltwood frame. Features an epic and incredibly well executed hand-painted, hand-dyed, and hand-embroidered scene depicting a pair of gorgeous golden eagles—one with natural colored plumage and the other a fantastical all-white—in a finely-bristled gnarled pine tree with a snow-covered navy blue Mt. Fuji looming in the distance. Set against a cream background with black on the shoulders and tail, and white-capped grey waves undulating below. While impressive at a distance, the kimono’s exceptional artistry and craftsmanship become even more apparent when viewed up close, with exquisitely detailed hand-painted metallic gold and silver line work throughout, and hand-sewn metallic gold and silver thread embroidery embellishing the eyes, beaks, and talons. Presented in a very heavy custom wood frame with silk ecru back and black trim inside, gilt front, black edges, and acrylic glazing. Since ancient times in Japan, Mt. Fuji has been a symbol of faith and admiration, eagles have represented the great power of nature, and pine trees have represented longevity, good fortune, and steadfastness. Further adding to this kimono’s lore, a trio of Kamon crest...
