Silk Crane and Chrysanthemum Short Black Yukata

✦ Why We Love It

黒に舞う鶴、菊の香り。 / Kuro ni mau tsuru, kiku no kaori. / Cranes dance on black, the scent of chrysanthemum in the air.

White cranes in flight, large mauve and rose chrysanthemum blooms, all set against a deep black satin-feel ground — this yukata is striking from the first glance. The Silk Crane and Chrysanthemum Short Black Yukata is designed and crafted in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital of textile artistry. Lightweight and gloriously soft, it falls beautifully at knee length with straight cut sleeves, two side pockets, and a matching black obi sash. Worn left over right, tied at the front or back. Hand wash only.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

The crane — 鶴 (tsuru) — is one of Japan’s most sacred symbols, representing longevity, peace, and love. It is said that a crane lives for a thousand years, and to gift someone a crane is to wish them a long and beautiful life. The chrysanthemum — 菊 (kiku) — is the flower of the Japanese Imperial family, a symbol of nobility, perfection, and endurance. Together on this yukata, they form one of the most beloved pairings in Japanese design.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a yukata. You are learning something meaningful about the culture and craftsmanship behind it — and bringing a little piece of Japan home.

鶴は千年、亀は万年。 / Tsuru wa sen-nen, kame wa man-nen. / The crane lives a thousand years, the tortoise ten thousand.
