Butterflies have been cherished as a pattern representing "growth" due to their transformation from egg to larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and finally, butterfly. Furthermore, their metamorphosis symbolizes "reincarnation" and "immortality," making them a beloved motif among samurai, who at the time constantly faced the reality of death. Perhaps because butterflies were so familiar to the Japanese people, their charming appearance has also been embraced as a design for kimono patterns. Approximately 410cm in length and 30.5cm in width. While I believe there are no noticeable scratches or stains, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as perceptions and individual preferences may vary.
