[tanuki-kimono]

Super chic antique outfit, pairing a sleek kimono with tsubotare (pot glaze) pattern, and a lustrous obi with kumo no su (spiderweb) and hagi (bushclover)

The drop glaze is a super chic pattern often found on vintage and antique kimono (see examples here) - but hard to find on modern ones:

Love at first sight for this antique outfit, pairing a modern looking kimono with dynamic tsubotare (pot glaze) under black stripes, paired with a shusu silk obi depicting tonbo (dragonfly) flying over omodaka (threeleaf arrowhead) by a flowing stream.

Great summer kimono outfit with lovely matching colors, featuring swift looking  chidori (plovers) obi, paired with mesmerizing tsubotare (pot glaze, see pic below) and asagao (morning glory) patterned kimono.

Colorful tsubotare (glaze pattern) and butterflies kimono paired with modern butterfly wing obi (seen on Ichiroya).

I am usually not fond of tsubotare as they often look too dull for my taste, but this pattern look very neat and lively!
