Various flowers of the garden are a popular motif of kimono, but have you seen a kimono with a display of flowers so neat and complete just like a Japanese flower arrangement?
A basket holds billowy peonies, yellow chrysanthemums, smaller-sized chrysanthemums with purple tinted petals, red and white plum blossoms and lovely red berries of nandine. Another basket with handles shows red and white camellia blossoms, yellow chrysanthemums and fresh smelling narcissuses in the finest details.
Set against a beautiful blossom pink that fades out to a lighter shade at the hem, this kimono is like spring itself, whispering to both the flower lover and the artist inside you.
The sleeves are lined with vivid red silk and the body lining is smooth ivory along the top and soft, peach pink along the bottom. |
