Lovely jewels tones for this late autumn/early antique winter outfit, pairing a lush kimono with kaki (persimmon tree), and a lavish zakuro (pomegranate) woven obi.
Warm feelings for those kaki (persimmon) themed haori and obi. Kimono chosen is a bit too busy for my taste, but has yukiwa (snowflakes) hinting at winter which is seasonally lovely.
GREAT novelty knot for this obi shaped like a cute bat. The soft fabric must flutter a bit when you walk, making the bat wings move (LOVE!).
To shape this knot, OP used rubber bands and a sanjûihimo (3 straps elastic belt, Billy Matsunaga has a tutorial on sewing the 4 straps-variation + see how it’s used here).
Wei Wuxian. you’re quite close with Lan Wangji these days. You might as well become a Lan sect disciple and stay at Cloud Recesses. Don’t go back to Lotus Pier.
What are you thinking? How could Cloud Recesses be as great as Lotus Pier?
