This exquisite pattern is sourced directly from an original Japanese woven silk kimono dating from the late 20th century, beautifully preserved in the V&A archives.

• The Symbolism: Rich in cultural meaning, the soaring crane motifs and delicate floral accents traditionally symbolize peace, beauty, and longevity, bringing a sense of good fortune to every hand dealt.

• Custom Inner Details: To mirror the gorgeous exterior, the classic face values and Royal court cards are custom-styled and color-coordinated to harmonize with the outer kimono graphics. A bespoke design also highlights one of the Ace cards for an extra touch of luxury.
