What can be said about this fantasy tomesode that you cannot already see in its twinkling silver carriages, cheerful flowers and shimmering mists? It's just gorgeous!
Glide along the bottom of this rich black kimono and hop aboard one of these lavish royal carriages. Decorated with flowers and ribbons they actually appear on large folding fans that flutter along golden mists. Traditional motifs of flowers and geometric patterns sparkle in gold.
Five white family crests crown the shoulders.
