Fascinating outfit pairing a purple stripes sanpogi* kimono with swirling flowers mirrored on the skirt, with a beautiful obi depicting a fukurô (owl) over a dark ground with scattered stars and a crescent moon.
*Sanpogi (lit. ”stroll outfit”) are beautiful kimono featuring all over paterns (much like komon) + mirror designs details on skirt flaps. Those fashionable day dress were briefly in fashion in Kansai pre wwii.
Romantic antique attire perfect for kôyô (autumn leaves viewing season) depicting small birds in turning maples trees.
The black silk shusu obi is matched with a lovely sanpogi (lit. ”stroll outfit”). Those were beautiful kimono featuring mirror designs on skirt flaps and all over patterns. I believe they were worn as fashionable day dress and were briefly in fashion in Kansai (Osaka?) pre wwii.
Glorious sanpogi* with romantic fuji (wisteria) pattern, paired with a sakura/cherry blossoms and botan/peony in a basket obi in matching tones.

Antique sanpogi* with all over sakura (cherry blossoms) with just the best use of color details for skirt pattern. OP paired it with an antique obi depicting tachibana (citrus) with auspicious patterns, and a minimalist haori with huge sakura petals.

Glorious sanpogi* hikizuri, depicting fune (boat) sailing over wavy stripes (=Iyo shima, a pattern prefect to mimic water). That plump goldfishes obi is a great match!
I wonder if that kimono was actually worn by a Geisha. In any case, this beauty would look amazing for a yatakabune outing (boat party).
