This is a graceful Houmongi Kimono with bold 'Somewake'(dyed in various colors) design, which is dyed and dyed with Shibori(tie-dye) technique. This design looks like sky, sea or clouds. It also has 'kanzemizu'(water stream) design, which is embroidered on the left front panel. Shibori(tie-dye) is added to the design around hem, on shoulders and sleeves. Textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch. It is machine-sewn. Basting stitches remain, so it seems to be after cleaning. http://www.ichiroya.com

Cooling tones for this outfit, pairing a tie and dye kimono with nadeshiko (pinks) and ayame (iris), and a lovely obi with tsubame (swallow) over kanzemizu (stylized whirpools/swirling water).

I like the modern styling using lacy sleeves!

Fantastic greens for this tsuwabuki (leopard plant, Japanese silverleaf) themed summer outfit.

The kimono has a kanzemizu (swirling water pattern, originated from Kanze school of Noh) ground, while the obi also presents kikyo (Chinese bellflower) over ryuusui (running water/stream).
