Modern furisode by Disney Princess seen on Studio Alice, inspired here by The Little Mermaid. Look how modern and fresh the uroko (triangles symbolizing scales) pattern is!
Modern furisode by Disney Princess seen on Studio Alice, inspired here by Moana. I love the colors and polynesian patterning, the jade obidome mimicking the heart of the ocean of the film is a also nice touch.
Goth heart going doki-doki for this Nightmare Before Christmas furisode by Disney seen on Studio Alice. I love the Sally's dress obi!
Soft geometricals for this wintery outfit, pairing a dainty snowflakes kimono, paired with starry asanoha (stylized hemp leaves) ombré haori and matching obi
Most joyful antique haori patterned with colorful daruma (tumbling doll representing Bodhidharma).
Auspicious tokens, daruma have a blank eye meant to be painted when a person's wish is granted. Here, all the dolls have both of their eyes drawn, meaning that they brought a lot of good luck around them ;)
(Those would be more than ready for the burning ceremony happening each year around New Year day!)
Celebratory outfit perfect for New Year season, featuring an antique kimono depicting shishi (lions) on a bridge - maybe a reference to auspicious play Shakkyô. The beautiful pines nicely frame the main motif, and the temari balls add some whimsy.
Kimono is paired with a romantic obi showing yuki-mochi (snow covered) gosho-guruma (ox cart) and late winter/early spring plants (ume/plum blossom, kiku/chrysanthemum, nandina/heavenly bamboo, suisen/daffodil).
Bold modern haori/coat by Monkiara, depicting auspicious demon queller Shôki.
Let's take a moment to appreciate this gentleman's drip:
Shochikubai ("three friends of winter") themed seasonal outfit, pairing a ume (plum blossom) kimono, matsubokkuri (pinecone) and matsuba (pine needles) black satin obi, and a cute take (bambou) obidome.
Auspicious shochikubai pattern is heavily associated with New Year season in Japan :)
Romantic late winter/early spring haori, depicting black kiku (chrysanthemum) and red ume (plum blossom) over a purple and salmon ground of large yukiwa (stylized snowflake) sprinkled with yuki no kessho (snow crystal).
Auspicious taka (hawk) and matsu (pine) embroidered obi, perfect for coming New Year season.
I also love the antique purple kimono with bold tsubotare (pot glaze)!
Quiet purple ground for this haori covered in matsu (pine) branches.
It's paired with kimono and hakama in matching tones with silvery details.
Cute christmassy modern obi, with santa riding his his reindeer sleigh. I love the snowflakes and snow crystals!
Joyful modern novelty obi, with christmassy patterns arranged around a cute wreath
Ghibli's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind but make them Sylvanian Families! Fricking adorable handmade felt costumes by Akaishikobo.
I love how OP recreated movie scenes:
Joyful kitsune no yomeiri (fox wedding procession) for this black based houmongi.
Those foxes look like short-sighted rats and I love them SO much!!!!!
