Modern kimono-inspired silhouette put together by Sankaku-kimono, playing on modern take revisiting kimono (actually a dress), obi (more cinched then traditional ones), and nagabaori (=long haori, this look can also be mimicked with too short kimono!)
Breathtaking knee length haori (=nagabaori) depicting serene Winter senery of yukimochi tsubaki (snow covered camellia) with a cute suzume (sparrow) flying by, over a rinzu ground of auspicious kikko (hexagons mimicing tortoise shell).
That beautiful pattern could be hinting at kigo/seasonal word hatsu suzume, meaning lit. “first sparrow of the New Year”, which stresses how even the tiniest menial thing looks new and clean and happy as a New Year starts.
(my heart goes doki doki for this haori as it’s one of my favourite motif! It would make a nice companion to my kuroromesode ;) )
Peekaboo cat long nagabaori (knee-long vest), seen on Nico Antique
Those kind of haori seem to make a come back lately. This style is also a great way to use too short kimono ;)
