The "Three Friends of Winter" are approaching us through this charming furisode, perfect for embodying the essence of autumn as it transitions into winter. Symbolizing longevity, the "three friends of winter" are plum blossoms, bamboo and pine, which seem to glow against the blackening sky.
In warm shades of orange, green, blue and purple, these elements rise from the earth and pattern the bottom panels, long sleeves and shoulders. Some of the flowers are intricately couched in luminous gold and embroidered with stunning detail. Meanwhile, a graceful white crane rests his wings atop a golden cloud - a perfect accent to this elegant furisode. |
