The doura is bright red, indicative of a WWII-era kimono and the hakakke is a dusty salmon-rose color, slightly deeper than the peachy-pink of the kimono. I think it's a really striking design and am looking forward to wearing it one of these days!
Initially, I was thinking of a green-gold obi for this to go with the clouds; but now I think it needs a black and white hakata obi. So I will have to acquire one sometime in the near future. In the meantime, I have a lovely olive green hakata obi as well as a chuya obi that is plain black on one side that might look really nice.
I will have to just play with the kimono sometime in the next month or so and post some pictures! The perfect obi for this kimono is out there somewhere!
These are all the seller's photos.
Enjoy.
How lovely! I can't wait to see you wear it!
ReplyDeleteThanks jadeX! It's even more lovely in person! It's my first houmongi, so I'm very excited to own it. I'm hoping I can wear it sometime in the next few months.
ReplyDeleteSo, I can totally come over and steal that one, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteAnytime! You probably have an obi that goes with this one already. You must have more accessories than I have!
ReplyDeleteThe obi I was bidding on that I wanted went way out of my price range....need to keep looking. I'd love something like a bold black and white pattern.
