This is a hand woven vintage Japanese Wedding Kimono purchased in Tokyo . These wedding Kimonos were used for traditional wedding ceremonies for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and are still used in modern traditional weddings. According to a book on kimonos by Norio Yamanaka, a "distinctive aspect of Japanese culture ... was seen during the Heian period (794-1185) when ladies of the court donned twelve layers of kimono for ceremonial occasion". One of the garments was the "modern" Japanese Wedding Kimono.
This wedding kimono portrays many embroidered phoenix. The phoenix, or (Ho-o), is a legendary bird that rises from the ashes after burning in fire, representing eternal rebirth and the cycle of life. It is also believed to appear in places of peace, prosperity, and happiness, and is a symbol of good fortune.
A beautiful wall decoration for yourself, a gift to a family members or a good friend. Included with the Kimono is a four-foot hanger for easy mounting. The overall size is 53 inches wide, 1-2 inches deep and 76 inches high. less
