This silk gift cloth showcases a refined two-tone metallic thread couching technique, forming an elaborate central family crest set against a single-color brocade background. With unusually refined tassels and excellent condition, this piece measures 25 inches by 29 inches (64 cm x 74 cm). The central crest features a pair of chrysanthemum leaves, a motif widely adopted as a family emblem in Japan due to its auspicious and beautiful nature. The chrysanthemum's resemblance to the sun earned it alternative names such as 'sun splendor' and 'sun spirit', and it's also been associated symbolically with longevity.
