This kimono showcases pairs of yuzen-painted cranes arranged in diamond shapes. In Japan, this particular motif, named "tsuru-bishi," highlights sets of cranes forming diamonds. The single mon (family crest) intricately embroidered on the back signifies the kimono's significance, possibly worn at weddings or during New Year's festivities, as the crane holds symbolism for these occasions. It measures 49 inches (125 cm) across the shoulders and stands at 63 inches (160 cm) tall. Reflecting the Japanese aesthetic "iki," which emerged in the late 18th century, this kimono embodies austere beauty, emphasizing simplicity and refinement by eliminating the superfluous while celebrating the beauty in what remains.
