Kyoto Blossom Mural
The Victoria & Albert Museum holds one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Japanese art, including ceramics, woodwork, prints, paintings, sculpture, textiles and dress. The design of this kimono illustrates the close connection between painting and textile arts that exists in Japan. The surface of the garment acts as a kind of hanging scroll for the creation of a hand-painted and resist-dyed image of elegant cranes under plum blossoms and pines. The crane is a symbolic bird in Japan where it is considered to bring happiness, good luck, and longevity. One of the more complex designs in the collection, the striking, yet harmonious scene has been adapted to create a large scale wall mural, reflecting perfectly the beauty of these majestical birds with rippling water beneath and a soft, cloud-like texture to give more depth and movement.
