A bright band of ruby clouds flecked with gold divides this pale taupe kimono into two delightful sections.
Above the clouds, plum, camellias, chrysnathemums, narcissuses, paulownia bloom in brilliant shades beside bold bamboo leaves and pale floral crests.
Below the clouds appear a more formal garden scene. The same gorgeous plants appear in the same daring colors, but among them can also be seen elaborate royal carriages and intricated folding fans. |
