Celebratory outfit perfect for New Year season, featuring an antique kimono depicting shishi (lions) on a bridge - maybe a reference to auspicious play Shakkyô. The beautiful pines nicely frame the main motif, and the temari balls add some whimsy.
Kimono is paired with a romantic obi showing yuki-mochi (snow covered) gosho-guruma (ox cart) and late winter/early spring plants (ume/plum blossom, kiku/chrysanthemum, nandina/heavenly bamboo, suisen/daffodil).

This gateway in Cambridge, UK, was flanked by impressive specimens of Nandina domestica (heavenly bamboo, Chinese sacred bamboo, sacred bamboo) covered with berries. An upright, elegant evergreen shrub with a bamboo-like habit can reach 2m in height. Plants thrive in a moist but well-drained soil in a sheltered position with full sun.

This was taken with the setting sun on one side and inadvertently under-exposed by 2-1/3 stops. Brightening up in post brought about noise level of some 14 that had need to be reduced.
