This silk wedding kurofurisode features a dramatic composition of white cranes in flight against a deep black ground, creating a striking visual contrast that embodies the Japanese aesthetic principle of ma (negative space) and the interplay between presence and absence. The cranes are rendered with remarkable naturalistic detail through silkscreen printing, then elevated with intricate embroidery highlights that add dimensional texture and luminous accents to feathers, beaks, and decorative elements.

The crane motif holds profound symbolic significance in Japanese culture, representing longevity, fidelity, and good fortune - making it an especially auspicious choice for bridal wear. The birds are depicted in dynamic poses with wings spread wide, suggesting movement and vitality, while delicate floral elements and flowing ribbons create a sense of celebration and festivity. This piece reflects the sophisticated fusion of traditional craftsmanship with emerging industrial techniques of the early 20th century, where silkscreen printing allowed for precise color registration and fine detail work that was then enhanced by hand embroidery. The overall composition demonstrates influences from both classical yamato-e painting traditions and the emerging modernist sensibilities that would characterize Japanese decorative arts during this transformative period.

It measures 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 66 inches (168 cm) in height.
