Japan Late Edo era (1840-1868) $10,000.00 A fine, sheer late Edo uchikake with embroidered and painted cranes, pine, bamboo, plum blossom and ‘minogame’ turtle. Two family crests on the front, 3 on the back. Very good condition. 51”across shoulders x 59” in height.. The trio of plum blossom, bamboo and pine are considered in Japan as the ‘three friends of winter’ who are faithful to each other during difficult times; they traditionally represent the season winter when used on art such as this wedding garment. Another and most prominent design combination found on this garment is that of pine, turtle and crane: these together symbolize longevity and good luck. 1623Contact Us About This Item: |
