Introducing this mesmerising kimono, our Tsuruhana hōmongi. Crafted from 100% silk, this vintage treasure exudes luxury and elegance with every thread.
Adorned with intricate yuzen resist dyeing techniques, the kimono features a stunning motif of cranes gracefully navigating a tranquil stream, enveloped by surrounding plum flowers, bamboo, and Japanese Irises. Named 'Tsuruhana', meaning 'crane flower,' this exquisite design reflects the rich symbolism and aesthetic allure of Japanese culture where the graceful crane remains a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Traditionally some even believe that a pattern with a crane couple symbolizes a strong and happy marriage.Wrap yourself in a silky embrace and the luck of the crane as you add a little more Japanese elegance to your life with our Tsuruhana kimono.
