Deep Yellow KIMONO with Bouquets of Peonies & Plums
The mustard tone of this delicate kimono perfectly accents its gentle crepes and shimmering damask hemp flowers - purposely left unfinished for visual effect.
Twinkling like stars, they draw the eye down to the bottom, where a lovely flower garden grows. Plum blossoms and peonies in pale shades of pink and yellow form into rings as stylized chrysanthemums appear softly in purple.
Notice the bright red lining; a beautiful burst of antique style.
