Cut from an original Japanese wedding uchikake, this silk cushion cover centres on a single crane set amongst layered florals on a richly woven red ground. The textile dates from the mid-Showa period and was once part of a formal ceremonial kimono.

In Japanese symbolism, the crane (Tsuru) is believed to live for a thousand years and represents longevity and good fortune — a timeless motif associated with celebration and renewal.
