This is a work by an Edo Komon artist, featuring a pinkish wisteria color with beige stripes and a pattern of seigaiha (waves) arranged in a kasumi (mist) design. The pattern placement is that of a formal visiting kimono (homongi), but it's a casual homongi. It's a piece you can wear without feeling too formal for casual gatherings, theater visits, dinners, and family celebrations, even intimate ones. The lining (hakake) also features a matching color, a snow-like pattern dyed in a frame, showing attention to detail. It's a stylish garment that evokes the spirit of Edo. Paired with a chic, stylish obi, where shall we go? About the Artist, Teruhisa Tajima Career: Entered the world of Tokyo dyeing Komon in 1946 and became known as a dyeing artisan of Edo Komon.
