{"product_id":"beige-cherry-blossom-kimono-hanafubuki","title":"Beige Cherry Blossom Kimono 'Hanafubuki'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCherry blossom and peonies packed edge to edge on blush satin, corded in gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59207692976476,"sku":"14:1052#Style F;5:200003528","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/beige-cherry-blossom-kimono-hanafubuki-1.jpg?v=1790579895","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/beige-cherry-blossom-kimono-hanafubuki","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
