The tsutsugaki futonji is crafted with free-hand rice-paste resist on indigo-dyed hand-woven cotton, employing painted pigments in its creation. Featuring a four-panel construction, it remains in very good condition, measuring 52 inches by 62 inches (132 cm x 157 cm).

Symbolically, the pine tree, evergreen and enduring, symbolizes the dwelling place of the gods and represents longevity. In this textile, the crane and turtle motifs frequently appear together. The crane, revered for its beauty and associated with longevity, exemplifies simplicity and serenity in Japanese art. The turtle, often depicted alongside the crane, symbolizes good fortune, carrying precious messages from the gods. The specific turtle design known as 'minogane' (caped tortoise) signifies exceptional fortune, with trailing 'tails' representing attached seaweed, a symbol of prosperity.
