I apologise for the lack of content, and if you&#8217;re curious as to why I&#8217;ve been relatively radio silent there&#8217;s a bit of info at the bottom of this post. Feel free to skip it though.<\/p>\n<p>I knew I needed to get back into the swing of things, and decided to do something with the gorgeous, timeless elegance of this vintage irotomesode. Like a lot of other pieces from this era, the designs on it are incredibly soft and dusty and subdued, and I wanted to make sure the obi didn&#8217;t compete or overwhelm in any way. As you may know, I&#8217;m of the mind that hakata obi go with everything and anything, so this very pale pink and white one seemed like the ideal complement to the dusky pastels of the kimono.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10170 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-167x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-600x1080.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-569x1024.jpg 569w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-83x150.jpg 83w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless.jpg 889w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2-167x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2-600x1080.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2-569x1024.jpg 569w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2-83x150.jpg 83w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-2.jpg 889w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"162\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4-162x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4-162x300.jpg 162w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4-600x1111.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4-553x1024.jpg 553w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4-81x150.jpg 81w, https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless-4.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to branch out and do more interesting things with my kitsuke, so I tried doing kouken musubi and I think it turned out quite well for a first attempt! Olive green accessories and a coordinating haneri helped give the whole outfit a bit of weight and contrast, which I think it definitely needed.<\/p>\n<p>It felt good to get this done. While I was down in California, two separate tragedies struck at times when I felt helpless to do anything. My friend Dan Howard, the incredibly talented and sweet and funny artist who drew <a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/2019\/02\/art-gallery-portrait-by-dan-howard\/\">this portrait of me<\/a>, lost a hard-fought battle with pneumonia. The following day our tiny, grumbly, loveable cat Tribble (whom you&#8217;ve definitely seen if you&#8217;re a long-time reader) succumbed to a very aggressive form of cancer. My folks made the humane choice to end her suffering but I was thousands of miles away and couldn&#8217;t say goodbye. So I was already not in a great place mentally or emotionally, and leaving Keith always makes me sad. On top of everything else, the trip home was long, full of incidents and delays. All these things have compounded to put me in a pretty bad state of mind. Distracting myself with something as familiar as kimono really helped today.<\/p>\n<p>If you read all that, I apologise and I thank you. But I&#8217;m starting to do better, and we&#8217;ll be back to a more regular schedule from here on in. &#x1f496;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Items used in this coordination<\/h4>\n<div class=\"gallery-wrapper items\">\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 16%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-10170 gallery-columns-6 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/irotome-5-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/irotome-5-2-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-5987\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-5987'>\n\t\t\t\tGolden Yellow with Flower Carts\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-6.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/hitoe-6-125x125.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-6378\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-6378'>\n\t\t\t\tWhite &#038;
