Along with all the haneri<\/a> I got, as well as the geisha hikizuri<\/a> (which is going to get a proper entry soon, I promise), I ended up with a few unexpected haori and another kimono from Naomi<\/a>, they came in a bundle of items she purchased and they were not to her tastes. Once again, someone else’s loss is my gain, because I absolutely love them both.<\/p>\n

This is a gorgeous vivid purple Meisen. I’ve mentioned my love\/hate affair with Meisen before – I think the technique is amazing but I have never come across a kimono long enough to fit me. I’ve come to terms with this, I think, and will stick to gorgeous, flamboyant haori. I honestly have no idea<\/b> what the flowers on here are supposed to be, but they appear to be losing their petals so I assume it’s for autumn. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know!<\/p>\n

Delicate kiku yuzen haori<\/b>

\"Kiku<\/a><\/p>\n

Yuzen has long been one of my favourite techniques – it’s relatively common but when it’s done right it has a charming delicacy. My first kimono was yuzen-dyed spider kiku, and it’s still one of my most cherished pieces. When I saw this piece in the bundle she got, I admit I really wanted it. So you can imagine how happy I am to have it in my grubby little paws. I can’t wait until the autumn so I can wear it. Age-wise, this piece is a little odd. It’s got the longer sleeves of a vintage piece, but the short body and simple white lining of a more modern one, so it’s probably from the transitional post-war era.<\/p>\n
