Look at the left kimono. This is the back style to show you this unique obi sash. This looks like Ume, Japanese plum flower shape. How wonderful it is to create such a flower from a just rectangular fabric!
Taken at the Ume Bonsai Exhibition in Osaka Temma Shrine.
This is part of Monday Mellow Yellows.
So beatiful! The colors are striking, and the ume-shaped obi is like fabric origami!
