Comforting countryside scenery for this outfit, pairing a warm-toned hyôtan (bottle gourd) kimono, and a cute embroidered obi depicting a kakashi (scarecrow, wearing the iconic mino/straw cape)
Soothing sage green kimono with large blooming tsubaki (camellia), paired with a black-base obi showing romantic swallow in the willows
Super chic tsubaki (camellia) themed outfit. The black based kimono also displays a sleek a same (sharks skin) ground.
Auspicious antique patterns for this outfit, pairing a bold yabane (arrow fletching) kimono, with a lusciously embroidered black-based obi depicting shishi (lion) among botan (peony).
Luscious purple velvet kimono coat with botan (peony) - probably woven-in urushi (metallic/lacquered threads)
Rare pattern for this antique purple kimono, depicting dragons in the clouds among what looks like strings of pearls.
Hold by dragon’s claws, those jewels are probably hôju (Cintamani/wish-fulfilling pearl). They also remind me of other pearls associated with dragons in Asia, like Ryûjin’s mythical tide jewels.
Regal antique kimono with gracefully long sleeves, showing colorful tachibana (a type of citrus) and sasarindô (gentian).
I love how the vibrant magenta ground echoes with the light blue piercing through clouds.
Vaporwave rainbow haze for this vintage kimono! How nicely the flower basket obi OP picked vibes with all the colors!

Best wintery patterns for this outfit, pairing a tsubaki (camellia) on hiôgi (cypress fan) obi, with a lovely striped kimono with woven-in karakusa (arabesques)
Romantic wintery antique kimono, depicting tachi-tsubaki (camellia tree with branches rising to the sky) over a ground of karamatsu (stylized larch).
Camellia are evergreen and are not supposed to loose their leaves, this pattern with branches barren but for flowers is pretty unusual!
Most pleasing color match for this wintery outfit, pairing a bold asanoha (stylized hemp leaves) kimono, with a beautiful yuki-mochi-tsubaki (snow covered camellia) obi.
