A rare find, this embroidered wedding robe (called a uchikake) was worn by a Japanese bride over 80 years ago, and is a testament to hours of patience and work. With each careful stitch, the beautifully vibrant plum and lime colored cranes become a wish for happiness and eternal youth. The lengths of creamy white silk have a subtle chrysanthemum pattern—the flower is a symbol of longevity.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
