Whether you're looking for a wedding kimono to wear or to expand your Japanese art collection, this elaborate piece is sure to please. The lustrous red background is hardly seen through the elaborate woven ocean garden design.
The intricate scene starts along the hem, where stylized waves rise in glistening gold and brilliant matte shades. Fallen cherry blossoms float on the sea.
Golden lines create the appearance of a thatched fence rising from the sea with bright plants growing over it. These include pine, cherry, and wisteria.
Beautiful white cranes glide across the scene.
