The orange tsukesage in my closet was calling out for love today (it is Valentine's Day after all), so I took it out and paired it with my pine fukuro obi (tied in nijuudaiko) as a last homage to winter before I put all of the wintery things away for the season. I chose my purple & mint obiage and my purple & gold obijime to round out the ensemble. I always felt that the orange and purple just mesh nicely. And I threw in my homemade netsuke for a cute touch. ^_^
This tsukesage is really nice!I like vivid orange and the design.And the obi is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour kitsuke is wonderful!Did you learn it by yourself?
Yes, I am completely self-taught. I wish there were kitsuke classes locally, but sadly there are few kimono enthusiasts in this area.
ReplyDeleteI see. Wow,that's really great!
ReplyDeleteI think every Japanese will marvel at your skill of kitsuke.
In these days,we Japanese have few opportunity of wearing kimono.It's really sad.So I'm very moved by your"Happy kitsuke".It's marvelous!
