She wears a luxurious red kimono decorated with plum blossoms, maple leaves, chrysanthemums, wisteria, and camellias on the outer layer, and cherry blossoms on a pale pink ground inside. Her obi is woven with designs of pine, cherry blossoms, and peonies on a black background. Each motif carries auspicious meaning. Plum blossoms symbolise perseverance and renewal, blooming even in the cold of late winter. Maple leaves represent the beauty of seasonal change and the fleeting nature of time. Chrysanthemums are emblems of longevity and imperial dignity. Wisteria conveys refinement, elegance, and humility. Camellias symbolise the arrival of spring and the promise of vitality. Cherry blossoms embody the transient beauty of life, while the pine represents steadfastness and endurance. The peony, known as the “king of flowers,” symbolises wealth and honour. Fan dance dolls are often displayed as auspicious symbols of elegance and prosperity. There are minor blemishes from age, but overall it remains in good used condition.
