Obi-Kimono cushion: Momiji (Japanese maple)

This cushion was made by an Obi with a maple and chrysanthemum motif.

The beauty of maple was praised in Manyoshu and the Tale of Genji. In the Muromachi period (1336-1573), the aristocracy actively went “maple hunting” to admire maple trees in distant fields and mountains.

The chrysanthemum is a symbol of longevity and dignity (the imperial coat of arms is also a chrysanthemum).
