This chirimen silk kimono showcases vibrant, finely-detailed yuzen-painted 'orizuru' (folded paper cranes) with gold foil outlining. While in good condition, it bears minor smudges, stains, and light patinas. Measuring 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at a height of 59 inches (150 cm).

The 'orizuru,' symbolizing enduring love and longevity, holds significance in Japanese culture, stemming from the belief that folding 1,000 paper cranes—a task known as 'sembazuru'—grants blessings for a happy marriage. As the crane mates for life and is believed to live a thousand years, creating these cranes symbolizes the bride's pursuit of good fortune. This kimono likely adorned a bride, either post-ceremony or worn by the bride's mother, as a homage to this tradition, signifying wishes for a prosperous and joyful marriage.
