The orizuru, symbolizing folded cranes, is a classic design in Japanese origami and holds deep cultural significance. According to tradition, crafting 1,000 Origami Cranes, known as 'sembazuru,' before a wedding day signifies a labor of love. Completing this task is believed to bring good fortune and a happy marriage to the bride. The majestic crane, which pairs for life and is said to live a thousand years, symbolizes enduring love and blessings. The multitude of origami cranes depicted on this kimono likely represents the thousand, making it a garment likely worn by the bride, either before or after the wedding ceremony, or by the bride's mother, to honor this tradition.
