Tokyo Finds 2023
Last year on a last minute trip to Tokyo I was lucky enough to find a few kimono pieces for my collection. Since it has grown I tend to be careful about what I add. I haven't photographed the yuktata I purchased yet, but I styled the haori and kimono during kitsuke practice. Possibly silk komon kimono in olive with stripes, lattice pattern and flowers (KM2023.15, silk(?), a. 1950) purchased in Asakusa with a modern nagoya obi in a slightly different shade of olive green featuring cream and gold "bubbles" hassun obi (HS2018.01, synthetic, 2017).
I actually bought this kimono to pair with a delightful haori purchased from Chicago vintage store in Harajuku (HH2023.01, silk, a. 1950).
