✦ THE STORY BEHIND THE KIMONO PATTERN ✦

Yabane to Tsuru, Arrow Feathers and the Crane

Bands of red and gold chevron stripes fold into sharp, arrow-like points across the tote's front, and within them a golden crane glides with wings fully spread, its long neck stretched in flight. The chevron, yabane, takes its shape from the feathers fixed to an arrow's shaft, and since a released arrow never turns back, the pattern became, especially in the Edo period, a symbol of moving forward without regret, often woven into a bride's wedding dress for the good fortune of a marriage that would last; the crane riding within it, tsuru, adds the familiar wish for a long and fortunate life. Together, arrow and bird carry two old, hopeful directions at once, forward and long, into a tote bag meant to be carried for years to come.
