This kinsha silk furisode, measuring 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 60 inches (152 cm) in height, features stunning yuzen-painted flying cranes with embroidery and sagara highlights. Adorned with five gold-foil mon, it's a beautiful piece despite some areas showing patina (as seen in the images). This furisode is part of a traditional kasane set, specifically the innermost garment, known as the "second shitagi." This three-piece set was popular among the Japanese aristocracy during the Heian period and continued to be commissioned by wealthier families until the end of the Taisho period. This particular furisode resembles the one depicted on page 47 of the book "Taisho Kimono," ISBN: 978-88-572-0011-8, suggesting a possible connection in design or artist.
