tanuki kimono

Modern furisode by Disney Princess seen on Studio Alice, inspired here by The Little Mermaid. Look how modern and fresh the uroko (triangles symbolizing scales) pattern is!

Modern furisode by Disney Princess seen on Studio Alice, inspired here by Moana. I love the colors and polynesian patterning, the jade obidome mimicking the heart of the ocean of the film is a also nice touch.

Goth heart going doki-doki for this Nightmare Before Christmas furisode by Disney seen on Studio Alice. I love the Sally's dress obi!

Soft geometricals for this wintery outfit, pairing a dainty snowflakes kimono, paired with starry asanoha (stylized hemp leaves) ombré haori and matching obi

(Those would be more than ready for the burning ceremony happening each year around New Year day!)

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).

Sleek black satin obi with beautifully embroidered kabuto (samurai helmet) with dragon crest. The textures are so nice!

Auspicious shochikubai pattern is heavily associated with New Year season in Japan :)

Romantic late winter/early spring haori, depicting black kiku (chrysanthemum) and red ume (plum blossom) over a purple and salmon ground of large yukiwa (stylized snowflake) sprinkled with yuki no kessho (snow crystal).

I also love the antique purple kimono with bold tsubotare (pot glaze)!

It's paired with kimono and hakama in matching tones with silvery details.

Cute christmassy modern obi, with santa riding his his reindeer sleigh. I love the snowflakes and snow crystals!

Joyful modern novelty obi, with christmassy patterns arranged around a cute wreath

Those foxes look like short-sighted rats and I love them SO much!!!!!
