This
symbol is a Mon.
A mon is a Japanese family crest.
This particular mon is one of a fan.
This motif is hand-painted repeatedly throughout the
kimono as a pattern.
Every
winter she greets the cranes flying by her window.
Flapping her fans like the wings of a crane she joins them
Dancing on the Wind.
