Japanese Kimono Art / Embroidered Wall Art, the Grateful Crane
About the Item
Japanese Kimono Art by Kimono-Couture
Title:the Grateful Crane
This Japanese 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 Kimono 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 Kimono Art by Kimono-Couture, which is filled with wonderful meanings and decorated with an auspicious pattern.

Kimono-Couture
Japanese Kimono Art by Kimono-Couture Kimono-Couture proudly creates one-of-a-kind Kimono Art using the highest quality Japanese-made obi. Japanese obi are meticulously crafted through countless intricate processes. We firmly believe that obi represent the culmination of Japan's world-renowned craftsmanship. However, as the culture of wearing kimonos has declined, opportunities to appreciate their beauty have significantly diminished. 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.

- Japanese Kimono Art / Kimono Tapestry, the King of PeacocksLocated in Shibuya City, TokyoThis Japanese kimono tapestry is the only one of its kind in the world. It has been carefully and meticulously embroidered by Japanese craftsmen. 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. As the colorful flowers bloom, we can sense that the seasons are changing. Each of the flowers on this piece are carefully chosen. Plum blossoms, wisteria, and cherry blossoms in the spring; iris and hollyhock blossoms in the summer; chrysanthemum blossoms and grapes in autumn; and peony blossoms in the winter. This is a wonderful Japanese tapestry...Category
