Photometric, polarimetric, and spectral observations of Kuwano's object made in the Crimea permit the conclusion that this object is a binary system consisting of an M giant and a low-luminosity star. During the 1979 flare the absolute magnitude of the low-luminosity component grew to about -6 magnitude and the M giant also underwent small variations. The distance to the system is estimated as 5-7 kpc and it is shown that it does not lie in the plane of the Galaxy. Aspects of the similarity of Kuwano's object to slow novae and symbiotic stars are noted.
