-About-


This pattern features a flock of cranes gracefully flying through the sky, inspired by the "Waka Scroll of the Thirty-six Immortal Poets with Cranes in Sketches," created by Showa-era designers Hon'ami Koetsu and Tawaraya Sotatsu.

The original scroll, over 13 meters long, showcases Sotatsu’s gold and silver cranes crossing the ocean, combined with Koetsu's calligraphy of waka poems. Sotatsu's sketches convey a dynamic scene of cranes landing on a sandbank, spreading their wings, and soaring high into the sky, depicted in rich silhouettes. Koetsu’s generous calligraphy enhances this beautiful collaboration, reflecting the aesthetics of early Edo-period upper-class townspeople.

This design captures the elegance of cranes in flight and their symbolism of longevity and nobility. Cranes have been celebrated in art for centuries, representing peace and wisdom. The pattern embodies our hope for a harmonious world, and wearing it may help fulfill your wishes.
