IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!
*dances around*

I feel like I've been waiting forever for this thing! I got a great deal on this kimono; it's a Taisho era furisode (1912-1925) brought to the States after the second world war. Ever since I first started learning about kimono, Taisho era designs were my favourite! I wanted a Taisho kimono for such a long time, but ones with such a pretty design and in such good condition are usually expensive. Most of the comparable furisode I've seen have been upwards of $300! When I saw this baby up for sale (and the price the seller was asking), I knew I better snatch her up before someone looking to cut up kimono for fabric found her. And so, now I have a Taisho kimono - that's purple - and a five crested furisode no less! AND LOOK! It even has a lightly padded hem for wearing hikizuri style!

*hugs the kimono*

I love the purple color as well. And the flowers!

It's so elegant.

Something creative would go here, if I were creative enough to think of something.

Thank you! I'm just so perfectly happy with it!

You know it's funny, I've always visually liked the appeal of blue kimono the most, but my collection seems to feature purple a lot more - to be honest I don't have a single blue kimono besides the karinui I bought and haven't sewn yet,
