I wore this once five years ago for an errand and have kept it stored indoors since then. There's a pattern running from the shoulders to the hem. [Description] A visiting kimono (houmongi) is a versatile garment for formal occasions, as well as for attending plays, tea ceremonies, and social gatherings. It can be worn by both unmarried and married women. Unlike everyday wear like "komon" kimonos, which have small patterns scattered all over, visiting kimonos are characterized by a continuous pattern that covers the entire garment.
