That take on yabane (arrow fletching motif) look so sleek and modern!
I also like how lively Yuko’s pictures are. See below: she’s flashing ankle and juban (so shocking if you follow strict kimono etiquette!) but it shows that kimono are not just pristine magazine outfits and can simply be worn - as they’ve been for hundred of years:
[ The samurai tells her “we have fought many times, we have made love many times. Service is life and death and I must fight!” I have seen the pointless red hills you mortals call “war” Yabane replies. You have proven a yourself to me but yet you wish to die nameless for a greedy lord. . . when your soul arrives at the gates of my homeland, the lords of hell will not favor your choice. -Oni-Tengoku ]
