This fragment's auspicious patterning brings together a flowering plum tree and fans, one of them decorated with a pair of cranes among pine boughs, bamboo, and mandarin orange blossoms and fruit. The tiny, densely spaced kanoko spots of the textile's clouds and blue fan are typical of the kanoko shibori technique of the mid-seventeenth century.
