Vintage 100% Silk Kurotomesode Kimono – Black with Crane & Garden Motif (Worn by Mary Ohno)

This elegant black kurotomesode kimono, crafted from 100% silk, features a breathtaking embroidered design of white cranes soaring above rolling waves, pine trees, and stylized floral landscapes. Traditionally worn by married women for formal occasions, the kurotomesode is recognized by its rich black body and vibrant artwork near the hem.

Previously worn by Mary Ohno—a master of Japanese dance and cultural arts—this piece carries not only visual splendor but also artistic legacy. The use of gold and pastel tones against black silk evokes peace, grace, and dignity in motion.
