"An elegant touch for adults," a refreshing summer kimono... a Ro-weave visiting kimono featuring karahana (Chinese-style flowers). Recently, the number of people wearing traditional Japanese clothing in the summer has decreased, making Ro-weave kimonos increasingly rare. Ro-weave, made by twisting two warp threads while weaving the weft threads, is a fabric perfect for the height of summer. Its light and airy texture is appealing, offering a refreshing coolness to both the wearer and those who see it. The calm expression created by the cool, plain colors, the design of flowing karahana patterns that emerge from the rich transparency of the Ro-weave, and the indescribable sense of style that the design exudes are all must-see! It's the very essence of depth in contemporary creative kimonos, and this is the perfect choice for this summer! Brand new, unused, and only worn for photography, this piece is a "hand-sewn" garment with basting threads still attached. This kimono features a sophisticated karahana pattern in a light grayish tone, creating an elegant touch for adults. Truly a masterpiece of modern creation... recommended for the stylish woman who wants to be ahead of the trend! Karahana is a pattern that originated in China. It doesn't represent a specific flower, but rather refers to Chinese-style flowers in general, such as peonies. It has been used extensively since the Heian period in the clothing and furnishings of the nobility, as well as in dyed and woven fabrics. Even today, it often appears on obi sashes and kimonos as an auspicious pattern. "For whom does the flower bloom... healing its body in the winds of the past and present," its expression of coolness is the appearance of an adult, visible through the Ro-weave... the clean silhouette and the moderate transparency are very lovely. Modern creative kimonos are valuable to have on hand for enjoying fashion and also for broadening the scope of traditional Japanese clothing.
