Omeshi

Some weeks ago I've bought this beautiful omeshi kimono on ebay.
Omeshi means a noble person puts on clothes.
Omeshi is a kind of Chirimen (silk crepe) kimono.
It belong to the Tsumugi (woven kimono) and is weaved after dyeing.
I really like the combination of the colours, dark red/purple with green.



The tsukuri obi is very handy, i don't now when you wear this obi if it will stay properly.
The obi age and obi jime are light green but i think light yellow would also be a option.

Nice kimono! Is it all shibori?
I think the obi (very versatile!) looks very good on this kimono.

No shibori, only looks that way I guess.
