This antique silk irotomesode showcases large, elegant cranes soaring above a swirling ocean, crafted through yuzen-painting with embroidered highlights. Adorned with five mon (family crests), it represents the most formal attire among irotomesode kimonos. Measuring 49 inches (125 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 60 inches (152 cm) in height, it holds a place in celebratory events.

Irotomesode, the second most formal kimono, differs from kurotomesode by featuring lighter colors instead of black. It's typically worn by married women at weddings or joyous occasions not directly linked to the bride or groom. The artistry of this kimono is strikingly effective, with the depiction of two majestic cranes against a swirling sea and deep, saturated blue sky evoking a sense of sublimity.
