This tsutsugaki futonji is meticulously crafted using free-hand rice-paste resist on indigo-dyed hand-woven cotton, adorned with motifs depicting the pine, crane, and turtle. The pine, representing longevity and the dwelling of the gods, is an enduring symbol. The crane and turtle motifs often coexist in tsutsugaki textiles. The crane symbolizes beauty, simplicity, and serenity in Japanese culture, associated with longevity and good fortune. Its elegant posture and striking black and white contrast, accentuated by the bright red spot on its head, highlight its significance.

The turtle, a constant companion of the crane in stories and art, carries precious things and conveys messages of good omen, particularly from the gods. The 'minogame' (caped tortoise) design, commonly seen in tsutsugaki textiles like this one, signifies exceptional fortune. This turtle design features long 'tails' trailing in the water, symbolizing attached seaweed and prosperity.

Comprising four joined panels, this futonji is in excellent condition, measuring 51 inches by 64 inches (130 cm x 163 cm).
