This soft rinzu juban, featuring stenciled flying crane motifs and faux-shibori clouds, measures 49 inches (124.5 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at a height of 58 inches (147.3 cm). The symbolic significance of the Japanese red-crowned crane reflects longevity, loyalty, honor, wisdom, and a spiritual connection to higher consciousness. Typically worn underneath a furisode, especially by the bride, this juban exhibits a remarkable design feature where the patterns seamlessly cross all seams, including the collar and closure areas, achieved through an intricate and meticulous process that involves matching the designs across multiple cloth rolls. This level of design continuity is exceedingly rare in kimono craftsmanship.
