Hello! First off, your blog is such an important resource for me in kimono colours and patterns. I’m making a manga when the details of there kimonos are rather important for the time that passes. And I was wondering what the colours/patterns are for each of the four seasons?
Hi and thank you for your kind words <3 I hope my answer will help you with your manga, don't hesitate to link me the finished story!
As for your question, seasonal color/patterns is a HUGE subject. Sensibilities and tastes changed across periods - and so did patterns, colors and styles ^^;
With a "modern" (late Edo to modern times) setting in mind, you can have a look at this past ask, where I linked patterns ressources => Japan 72 micro seasons, kigo seasonal words, Kimonolady's Tea ceremony calendar, etc.
As for colors, check those past notes => otterintheflightdeck's color serie, color association + those ressources => kimono colors matching grid (via Kimono Nagoya), kasane no irome (on Sengoku Daimyo / on Kariginu), Irocore color list (in jp but each color has brief english description)
