    Fun pop pattern for this furisode showing mischievous crows among colorful dots, paired with dark green hakama pants.

    OP describes the crows as yatagarasu (mythical three-legged crow), can you count the birdies’ legs?

    Eerie autumn night outfit, pairing a misty green kimono with flowy writings, with a chilling obi depicting pampa grass shining in the moonlight.

    The star of this outfit definitely is the ghostly karasu (crow) and nozarashi (weather beaten bones) obidome!

    Screaming karasu (crow) for this antique black obi, with vivid blue bamboo pole and asanoha (stylized hemp leaves) details.

    And long time no see for the kimono pattern! Those wavy lines is a super ancient pattern called tatewaku, which represents rising steam. In-between, you can often found other patterns like clouds, or chrysanthemums for ex. Here the tatewaku has delicate all-seasons plants (orchids, ivy, chrysanthemums, bamboo, maple leaves) on running water ground.

    “Fly Meow to the moon” modern yukata by CHOKO×Rui with best patterns (black cat! bats!). The matching obi throws in some crows (which makes everything better ofc).

    Sharp look for this outfit, pairing a modern lacy kimono, with a sleek antique summer weave obi showing a beautiful black-on-black embroidered crow (obi was recently lenghtened with a matching yukiwa/snowflakes fabric, which is a great idea to give second life to old items!).

    I love how front part has a crow is gleefully strutting:

    Sleek crow-themed outfit in matching neutral tones. I love the dice and mahjong tiles accessories OP chose/made (it gives such a 60’s snack-bar mama-san vibe - tinted with a yakuza-esque edge)
