November 2020: It is said that the Gosechi no Mai, a type of dance performed at the Toyoakari-no-sechie Festival, began with the dance of heavenly maidens who waved their sleeves five times. They were brought down to each by the sound of the kin (Chinese zither) of the Emperor Temmu (reigned 673-686), as he played it at his detached palace in Yoshino.

Mononogu shouzoku is a formal wear worn until the late Heian period. Its notable characteristic include hire ( cloth sash hung from the shoulders ) and kuntai ( cloth sash hung from the waist ). I changed the uwagi pattern because the real one was really hard to draw o)-(   I also added base pattern on the karaginu. The other elements are drawn with reference. Reference: kimonohistory.fuyulink.co.uk/c… Holbein watercolor on Reeves paper. Thank God I only have one paper left. Absolutely will not repurchase the paper ever again, it gets teared easily o)-( Art (c) Hachiretsu
