I also happened to have a haneri and obiage that were a spot-on match for the olive green tones in the kimono. I was a little stumped when it came to the obijime until I remembered I have this one that is an exact match for the navy background and pink momiji leaves in the kimono. I couldn&#8217;t be happier by how well every item in this coordination calls back to at least one other item.<\/p>\n<p>Quick note &#8211; I am in the process of changing how images are stored. I used to upload them all to my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/moonypics\/\">flickr<\/a>\u00a0account and then create linked galleries, but they are now confining free accounts and it&#8217;s a system I&#8217;ve always found a little inefficient anyway. I used to get traffic from there but I don&#8217;t any longer, so I&#8217;m going through the arduous task of downloading all my content, hosting it locally, and editing every single entry that contains images from flickr. If you&#8217;re browsing and see things broken or missing, please be patient!
