This chirimen silk juban possesses a soft pink ground,  providing a delicate backdrop for the dynamic composition of soaring cranes rendered in cream and gold with distinctive black wing tips, their forms created through the relatively new silkscreening process that allowed for more affordable yet sophisticated textile production during this era. The stylized waves, depicted in bold red with characteristic foam crests, create a rhythmic pattern that suggests both the rolling motion of the sea and the decorative seigaiha (blue ocean waves) motif that has adorned Japanese art for centuries.

The artistic treatment reflects the influence of the Art Deco movement that was sweeping through Japan during the 1920s and 1930s, evident in the bold color contrasts, geometric stylization of natural forms, and the overall sense of movement and modernity. The cranes, or tsuru, carry profound symbolic weight in Japanese culture as emblems of longevity, good fortune, and marital fidelity - making them particularly appropriate for undergarments that would have been part of a woman's intimate wardrobe. The pairing of cranes with waves creates a harmonious composition that speaks to the Japanese aesthetic principle of capturing the essence of nature's cycles and the relationship between earth and sky, permanence and change.

The use of chirimen silk, with its distinctive crepe texture achieved through alternating twisted threads, adds tactile richness to the garment while the silkscreen technique demonstrates Japan's embrace of industrial innovation during the Taisho and early Showa periods.

It's complemented by a red silk lining and a white cotton lapel. Measurements stand at 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and a height of 51 inches (130 cm).
