【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 Kimono art.
We named this Kimono Art "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 Japanese Art 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 Japanese Textile Art, which is filled with wonderful meanings and decorated with an auspicious pattern.

Japanese obi are meticulously crafted through countless intricate processes. We firmly believe that obi represent the culmination of Japan's world-renowned craftsmanship.

Therefore, at Kimono-Couture, it is our mission to share the splendor of Japan's traditions, culture, and sensibilities and contribute to the world of kimono culture through the creation of Kimono Art. At Kimono-Couture, our skilled artisans painstakingly examine every detail of each obi to bring out its maximum charm, including patterns, colors, and dimensions. Kimono Art conveys various wishes and meanings through its patterns and colors. For instance, the peacock pattern symbolizes "compassion," "abundance," and "health," while the crane pattern represents "vitality" and "longevity." Detailed explanations of the themes and beliefs behind each piece are available in the description section of our works, which we invite you to explore. We take immense pride in delivering our Kimono Art and your satisfaction is our utmost priority. We offer the option of customizing from your preferred patterns and colors, and we are also happy to suggest recommendations based on the wishes and meanings of Kimono Art.
