About
A design of vibrantly colored bamboo leaves and camellias cover this haori. Small patterns, including those imitating traditional shibori, can be found in the petals of the flowers and some of the bamboo leaves. Camellias are the first flowers to appear in the new year and foretell the coming of spring.
