Longevity by Kimono-Couture *Japanese Kimono Art *Handmade by Kimono-Couture *One-of-a-kind Japanese Art This Wall Decoration is textile art framed with a kimono obi. The obi framed in this artwork is a wish for marriage, childbirth and success in life. Why not display this auspicious Kimono Wall Art in your favourite space? The kimono obi pattern framed in this art is explained below. This orange silk-based obi is decorated with a tortoiseshell l pattern.

During the Heian period (794~1185), only aristocrats were allowed to use the pattern, and the general public could not even see it. Therefore, the tortoiseshell pattern is known as a sacred and prestigious pattern. The tortoiseshell pattern is a regular hexagonal pattern, derived from the shell of a turtle. The regular hexagon is said to be the most stable shape in nature, which means "sturdy and strong". Today, it is also said to be a pattern that brings good luck in money. The tortoiseshell pattern is decorated with pine trees, bamboo, plum blossoms, and flowers of the four seasons such as chrysanthemums, daffodils, autumn leaves, and peonies. In Japan, the pine, bamboo, and plum trees have been a traditional Japanese good-luck charm since around the Edo period (1603~1863). Pine trees are as long as 200 to 400 years old, and some are thousands of years old. Pine trees grow in harsh environments where other trees cannot thrive, and they are considered a symbol of vitality and longevity because of their year-round blue foliage. Bamboo is a symbol of prosperity of offspring because it grows straight and straight with new shoots. Because of its nutritional value, the plum tree played the role of a medicine against illness in ancient Japan. When a Japanese emperor fell ill, he ate...
