Woven greens and golds and heavily embroidered in metallic silver, gold and red silk thread. Equally beautiful in the salon or the boudoir to add some unique luxury to your decor, or perhaps given as the ultimate new home or a thoughtful wedding gift with this one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
Only one made, it is therefore totally unique and is hand crafted by cleverly upcycling part of a vintage silk Japanese wedding garment (Uchikake), dating from the Mid-Showa period (40+ years old). The front is a woven green and gold floral brocade with a myriad of auspicious symbols in silk and gilt thread and the reverse is made from the authentic original silk lining of the garment in bright pink.
Cranes (Tsuru) believed to live for a thousand years and inhabit the land of the immortals. Symbolise longevity and good fortune. A pair represent a happy marriage. You will receive the Hunted and Stuffed Guide To Symbols In Japanese Textiles free with your order. The throw comes in a presentation box.
