Shimakame's Homongi (Visiting Kimono) The base color is not pure white, but a refined color, or beige. It features a beige and black checkered pattern. Scattered throughout are small, round, flower-like "arare" patterns in pink, green, and mustard yellow, which give it a gentle, Kyoto-like feel, and a very atmospheric quality that is characteristic of Shimakame. As a Homongi, it can be worn with a fukuro obi (formal obi) for New Year's celebrations and formal occasions, but it can also be styled more casually, like a Komon (small pattern kimono) with a checkered pattern, depending on the obi.
