Festive red for this outfit, pairing a kimono with dynamic brush-like swirls, with an antique black base obi depicting an Ise-ebi among bamboo leaves.
Ise ebi (Japanese spiny lobster) are an auspicious creature part of New year osechi ryôri celebratory dishes: their bent back make them look like an old person, hence why they symbolize wishes for long life :)

Holidays colors yes but with a twist :D
Beautiful color matching for this antique outfit, pairing a kimono with bamboo stalks over a ground of hanakatsumi (geometrical leaves and flowers pattern), with a fantastic black-based obi with a snarling hannya noh mask.
