This kimono perfectly combines two classical elements, the red-crowned crane and pine, which are highly worshipped and appreciated in Japan, China and Korea for their symbolisation of longevity and fidelity.
Wave pattern enhances traditional Japanese's close attachment to the ocean.
You can find these three motifs often in kimono design but rarely see them together.
Tsuta (ivy) Kamon at central back and sleeves is considered as 10 most used kamons and was initially preferred by Geishas for ivy is a symbol of everlasting, devotion and fidelity.
Tomesode was traditionally considered as female formal attire, however, in nowadays collector's market, it is highly favoured as unisex as a result of its 'fit everyone' black base colour and classical pattern design.
