Visiting kimono by Akira Takizawa, Itome Yuzen, Single layer summer wear, Setsugekka
This single-layer summer piece depicts a splendid world of snow, moon, and flowers in a blur of whitish gray and beautiful purple. The upper front is dyed with the word "snow" written elegantly in blue, along with elegant white-purple flowers. From the shoulder to the right sleeve, "flowers" are written in purple and green, and at the back hem, "moon" is written in blue-green across a purple background. Put on this Japanese elegance and immerse yourself in a feeling of elegance.
"Setsugetsuka" comes from a line in Bai Juyi's poem "Ji Yin Xie Lu" titled "When snow, moon, and flowers bloom, I remember you most." The word refers to the beautiful natural scenery of snow, moon, and flowers. The snow in winter, the moon in autumn, and the flowers in spring are representative of the natural beauty of the four seasons. There are elegant views in every season. In a tea ceremony, seven or eight people in a group draw cards that represent snow, moon, or flower, and the person who draws the snow card eats sweets, the moon card drinks tea, and the flower card performs the tea ceremony.
This single-layer kimono is ideal for tea ceremonies and other summer events.
Profile of Akira Takizawa The author, Akira Takizawa, is an artist who received a letter of appreciation from Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady of the White House.
The letter of appreciation was for the formal kimonos that he created and presented to the wives of the prime ministers of various countries at the request of the Japanese government during the Okinawa Summit held from July 21 to July 23, 2000.

¡Technique Takizawa grew up in Tokamachi, where his father worked in dyeing, and learned from the first Yusui Toku sensei to acquire the high level of skill in creating delicate thread patterns.
This is a clean and sophisticated Kaga Yuzen thread yuzen technique that does not use gold leaf, embroidery, or shading. Itome Yuzen, which takes more than three times as much time and effort as regular Yuzen, is characterized by its clear, refined, and strong beauty even from a distance.
¡A look that makes the wearer look their best Takizawa-sensei's Homongi is characterized by the extremely beautiful colors that are highly transparent, called "sherbet tones."
Using these colors as a base, he creates all kinds of Homongi full of fun, such as World Heritage sites, numerous classics, flowers that do not feel the season, dogs, cats, horses, etc.
He is filled with deep love, saying that ordinary things are boring! He wants to bring out the undiscovered beauty that the wearer has!
In addition, while working with stage actors Yoshiko Mita and Makoto Matsui, he pursued a look that "makes the wearer look their best."
He continued to seek not only "amazing!" when it is hung on a clothes rack as a kimono, but also a look that "makes the wearer look their best" when worn by someone.
You will discover a new, more elegant, and beautiful side of yourself that you never knew existed, and you will surely receive great praise from those around you.
