This extremely fine silk ceremonial Kaga noren, or wedding screen, features symbolic elements: the pine, symbolizing longevity, and the mandarin crane, representing good fortune and a long life. It's in very good condition and measures 55 inches by 67 inches (140 cm x 170 cm).

Traditionally, this type of wedding curtain bears the groom's family crest. On the wedding day, it is hung in front of the groom's family Buddhist room for a week or two. When the bride passes through it, she is required to bow, symbolizing her respect for her new husband and his family, regardless of her background. By bowing in front of the Kaga noren, the bride signifies her pledge of obedience to Buddha and the groom's family.
