Japanese Kimono Art / Kimono Tapestry, the King of Peacocks
About the Item
This 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 that your guests will surely admire. Let this gem be a part of your life.

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. Please don't hesitate to contact us!

- Japanese Kimono Art / Tapestry, LongevityLocated in Shibuya City, TokyoThis orange silk-based obi is decorated with a tortoiseshell l pattern. The tortoiseshell pattern was handed down from China during the Asuka period in Japan. During the Heian period , only aristocrats were allowed to use the pattern, and the general public could not even see it. Therefore, the tortoiseshell pattern is known as a sacred and prestigious pattern. The tortoiseshell pattern is a regular hexagonal pattern, derived from the shell of a turtle. The regular hexagon is said to be the most stable shape in nature, which means ""sturdy and strong. Today, it is also said to be a pattern that brings good luck in money. The tortoiseshell pattern is decorated with pine trees, bamboo, plum blossoms, and flowers of the four seasons such as chrysanthemums, daffodils, autumn leaves, and peonies. In Japan, the pine, bamboo, and plum trees have been a traditional Japanese good-luck charm since around the Edo period Pine trees are as long as 200 to 400 years old, and some are thousands of years old. Pine trees grow in harsh environments where other trees cannot thrive, and they are considered a symbol of vitality and longevity because of their year-round blue foliage. Bamboo is a symbol of prosperity of offspring because it grows straight and straight with new shoots. Because of its nutritional value, the plum tree played the role of a medicine against illness in ancient Japan. When a Japanese emperor fell ill, he ate...Category
