I&#8217;d love to get an actual rose obidome or obi-kazari to go with it, but this gold and sakura piece works in the meantime. I feel like this is a good &#8220;mature&#8221; furisode outfit, especially if I were to tie the obi in something a bit less large and fluffy next time.<\/p>\n<p>The kimono is quite new so I don&#8217;t have a catalogue photo for it, but weirdly I don&#8217;t seem to have one for this sanbuhimo either? Which is odd, because I&#8217;ve had it for eons.\u00a0One day I&#8217;ll get my collection catalogue up to date.
