Romantic spring outfit in soft powdery colors, pairing a kimono depicting sakura (cherry blossoms) petals swirling in a stream, with a woven obi with tsujigahana-inspired flowers.
Tsujigahana is a Muromachi era tie dye technique, especially used for flowery patterns, which was lost and revived by textile artist Itchiku Kubota (I've talked about his works in past notes).
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).
