The imagery upon this furisode kimono is quite strong, pointing towards good fortune and happiness.
Scattered with images of various flowers, the kimono highlights blossoms, such as chrysanthemums, plums, peonies and more. The flowers seem to jump from their canvas with vibrant colors.
The fabric also features items like pines and fans, other symbols of good luck, often highlighted with powerful gold embroidery.
However, the true beauty of this piece sits at the bottom of the kimono. The white and red cranes seem to fly hand in hand, soaring upon good spirits and fortune. |
