About this piece
Cherry blossom and peonies packed edge to edge on blush satin, corded in gold
There is almost no ground left on this kimono. Cherry blossom and peonies run edge to edge across a pale blush satin, in pink from the faintest to the deepest, with cream and brown in the leaves and fine gold lines drawn through the petals, so dense that the beige shows only in slivers between the flowers. The collar is white, edged in gold. The obi is the same blush, with a braided gold cord wrapped over it.
It is the fullest floral in the collection and the softest, because the colours are all warm and pale. Where the black-ground florals shout, this one hums. It is the kimono for a garden in April and a room with good light.
The name, Hanafubuki, means a blizzard of blossom, the moment in spring when the wind takes the cherry trees and the air fills with petals. The print is that moment, with nothing left bare.
It is printed, not embroidered, on a polyester satin with a smooth, glossy face and a fluid drape, chosen because a print with this much pale pink must stay pale and clean through washing, and because satin is what gives the gold lines their catch. It is light and it moves.
The obi is included, a matching sash with the gold cord that wraps twice and ties at the back. Cross the fronts left over right, tie the obi, and the kimono closes into a long column of blossom with the gold cord as the one hard line on it.
The cut is long, falling to the ankle, with wide kimono sleeves and a wrap front that adjusts at the waist. Tied, it is a dress for a spring wedding. Open over white, it is the prettiest robe in the house and it knows it. Wear it with nothing else patterned, and the palest shoes you own.
At three metres it is a pale pink kimono. At thirty centimetres it is a garden, every flower drawn, the gold lines threading through the petals, and the blush ground showing only in slivers. It is the print in the collection that most rewards a close look.
It comes in one size, cut long with a generous wrap. It is Asian sizing, so it sits closer than a Western one-size; the wrap and the obi give the room, and set the waist where you want it.
Questions about the kimono
Is it a kimono or a yukata?
Both are the same shape: a long robe crossed left over right and tied with an obi. A yukata is the unlined summer version in a light woven cloth; the satin pieces here are printed kimono robes. Every page says which it is, and the obi is included with each.
Does it run small?
Yes. Our pieces are cut to Asian sizing, which runs smaller than US sizing. Men's yukata are sized by height; between two sizes, take the larger. Women's kimono are one size, with a wrap front that adjusts at the obi. Measurements taken flat are in the size guide.
Is it silk?
No. Every piece in this collection is polyester, woven for the yukata and satin for the printed kimono, as stated on its page and on the inner label. We never sell silk as something else, or something else as silk.
Is it made in Japan?
No. It is a Japanese design, made in Asia. We say so on every page.
How do I wear it?
Cross the left front over the right, wrap the obi twice at the waist and knot it at the back or the hip. At home it is a robe; out, with sandals, it is the whole outfit. A plain T-shirt underneath if the evening cools.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colours, on a gentle cycle for the satin pieces. Hang to dry. Iron on low, inside out over any print.
What we sell, and what we don't
Japanese designs, made in Asia. Cotton, linen or polyester as stated on each piece, never silk. We say so on every page, because the alternative is selling you a word instead of a garment.
