They&#8217;re both landscapes with mountains, but the different techniques complement each other wonderfully. The obi has gorgeous, soft dusty decoration and I pulled out the sort of raspberry\/burgundy colours with the accessories. A green obijime echoes the kimono, and an agate obidome in the same reddish tones was the perfect finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for my upcoming presentations at <a href=\"http:\/\/costumecon38.org\/en\/home\/\">Costume-Con 38<\/a>, I also used this as an occasion to practice doing kitsuke while explaining what I was doing. My poor father was subjected to my &#8220;lecture&#8221;, and he was a good sport about it. \u00a0\ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>Since this obi is so new, I don&#8217;t have proper close-up photo of it yet, but that&#8217;s coming!
