I saw this when I was walking home, and it just made me sad.
This hits hard.
fuck
Chirimen silk, hand-painted skull and spiderweb houmongi. Not the usual bold stripes and meisen I usually go for, but definitely a jewel in my tansu. I mean, how can anyone pass up skulls and spiderwebs on a woman’s formal kimono? This is also the only kimono in my possession that I have worn out in public, so I can tell you that it is definitely an attention-getter! (Skull houmongi, Heisei period, from the personal collection of Ai no Kimono)
