This is a homongi by Akaji Akira, an authentic Kaga Yuzen artist, in a tall size. I received it from my mother, and it has been guard-processed, worn a few times, and is in excellent condition after being washed and stored. This is a special piece handled in the special selection floor of department stores. Akaji Akira, an authentic Kaga Yuzen artist, is famous for his unique and detailed motifs. The design features gardenias, mountain azaleas, and mandarin ducks, vividly dyed using the Kaga Yuzen technique. The colorful hues are reminiscent of Ryukyu Bingata. Kaga Yuzen homongi do not use gold leaf or gold thread, allowing for an elegant appearance. Since there is no gold thread on the front, it is recommended for tea ceremonies and occasions where you sit on your knees for extended periods. The design includes plum blossoms and mountain azaleas, so it is not limited to a specific season, making it very convenient to wear regardless of the time of year. However, homongi featuring mountain azaleas as the main subject are very rare, so I recommend wearing it most in April and May. Personally, I love Kaga Yuzen that depicts nature and birds. The addition of birds instantly adds vitality. This vibrant homongi will enhance the presence of hosts, guests, and accompanying children. It is a homongi that is sure to be appreciated when worn. Suitable for tea ceremonies, wedding receptions, children's entrance/graduation ceremonies, and accompanying them to Shichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three Festival) and shrine visits. It has been guard-processed, so you can wear it with peace of mind. For those who can appreciate this tall-size homongi by Akaji Akira, an authentic Kaga Yuzen artist, please consider it. ★Considering the original purchase price of nearly 1 million yen, it's a great deal if the size fits.
