This gorgeous houmongi has cloud patterns made using genuine shibori (Japanese tie dye) techniques. You can see the "kanoko" (deer fawn spots) pattern, which was also made using shibori.
This kimono features the Chinese bellflower quite a bit, as well as chrysanthemums and various leaves.
There are many gorgeous flowers and leaves hand painted onto this kimono, and you can even see fading that starts dark on the outside and lightens as it goes towards the center.
Some of the flowers and leaves also have shiny golden threading and golden paint around them.
