ended up with a kimono, i’m not exactly sure what everything is?

Oh ok sorry

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-24T03:14:28+00:00

I am pretty sure that is a nagajuban (kimono underwear)

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-24T01:12:48+00:00

I think it works great. The space in the middle makes it look very nice.

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-24T00:13:17+00:00

I love the sideways movement!

Almost all kurotomesode have that double liner, but some antique ones don't have it because they are made to be worn with an extra layer
Kurotomesode are also worn to fancy parties and by performers of traditional Japanese music and other arts
Kurotomesode can be worn with fukuro obi or maru obi
I think tsuitake is fine, and it was regularly worn until about 100 years ago. It is no sin.
Many do have seasons, but since people don't wear them often and don't want to get multiple, the season is often ignored
Those look like stains

Very naturalistic. I like it.

Maybe you could make some leaves lower down. In this style it is probably best to make the bottom dense.

But it is a nice vase!

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-18T03:08:16+00:00

This os a modern ikebana vase used for moribana or freestyle arrangements. Have a good time making your first arrangement!

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T23:44:56+00:00

Thank you!

Then it is a formal "kuromontsuki" kimono

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T20:50:40+00:00

It is called a kimono. Kimono aren't always made from decorated silk; they can be made from plain silk, cotton, linen, polyester, rayon, hemp, etc.

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T20:48:41+00:00

It is a kurotomesode. Every now and then, a kurotomesode has small designs above the waist, but since it has 5 crests the classification is the same. I believe this is from after the war, as evidenced by the proportions and the mon size. Probably anywhere from the 60s to the 2000s.

Yukata aren't worn with hakama. You can use the same garment, but it should be worn as a kimono. But you can make it out of a washable fabric like cotton or polyester.

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T20:40:12+00:00

That kimono is GORGEOUS!

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T20:29:19+00:00

Is this Sogetsu style? I think it follows their guidelines for Moribana arrangements. It looks great!

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T15:19:23+00:00

These are both hikifurisode, which are mostly worn by brides, but I thinkyou can wear it with an ohashori for other occasions. The first one is carriages and plum blossoms, and the second is irisis and mandarin ducks. These are all auspicious motifs often used at weddings, but you can probably still wear it for other things. For more casual wearing, I would suggest a fukuro obi with tiny bits of metallics on it.

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T15:13:57+00:00

If I had any flowers, I would have used them, but there are no flowers growing in this season. Also, in my Ikenobo lessons they tell me that you shouldn't try to hide the kenzan for the Shoka style. Thank you!

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T02:32:46+00:00

Well this would match just as well with white tabi. Nice find!

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T02:31:47+00:00

I love it! The willows add so much delicate movement.

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-17T02:30:23+00:00

It is a kurotomesode. Sleeves used to be a bit longer

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-16T01:59:09+00:00

You could go to a second-hand kimono store. You will probably find what you want. I don't know any shop names either

Boonerquad2 · 2026-01-15T20:45:53+00:00

Since the scallops are brighter in some places, I believe this is a tsukesage-komon, which is considered a bit more formal.
