A summer kimono with a dashing dragonfly... On a jet-black background, vertical stripes flow like raindrops, and a dragonfly dances subtly across the fabric. This is a silk basho summer kimono that evokes a sense of tranquility and dignity. Dragonflies are also known as "kachi-mushi" (winning insects) because they only move forward and never retreat, and have been cherished as a lucky pattern since ancient times. This design incorporates a forward-looking sentiment within its stylish design. The material used is "silk basho," which replicates the traditional Okinawan textile, bashofu, using silk. The crisp texture and subtle sheerness feel pleasant against the skin, making it a luxurious summer material that can be worn coolly even in the humid season. The simple yet profound design and the calm color scheme can be enjoyed for many years, regardless of age. It is a perfect piece for summer outings such as theater visits, dining out, and strolling around town. This item is brand new and unused, only worn once for photography, and still has its basting threads. It is hand-sewn and will naturally conform to the body. This summer, wear this kimono with the winning insect and enjoy a tasteful outfit. Embrace the sophistication of an adult and spend a cool and refreshing time.
