Kimono with a Mythical Hoo Bird
The kimono is one of the iconic garments from Asia. In Japan and elsewhere it is a symbol of the country and its culture. While its basic shape has been the same for centuries, there are many different variations suitable for a specific occasion or the status of its wearer. This colourful example with very wide hanging sleeves (furisode) is for a young unmarried woman.
