A vibrant scarlet red gives this vintage girl's silk juban underkimono a beautiful blend of elegance and tradition! Two distinct silk jacquard patterns combine a structured geometric grid with graceful cranes, symbols of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture. A delicate light pink floral jacquard overcollar adds a soft contrast to the rich red silk and coordinating red lining.
