tanuki-kimono: “Freeform” kimono costumes styling by Mozu. It’s always interesting to see what can by done with kimono silhouettes: First outfit is a shiromuku (white bridal kimono) tweaked with an additional usu-uchikake (sheer overcoat) and a glorious headpiece with a central motif inspired by Heian court ladies saishi 釵子 (or hirabitai 平額) Second outfit features too an usu-uchikake (sheer overcoat) and has the obi tied in wide front bow(s?) inspired by high-end courtesans (Tayuu + Oiran) fashion.Third outfit reminds me of a miko under a sakura tree. The set is not a “true” miko one (no hibakama/red pants and hakui/white kimono). But the overall feeling is nicely conveyed by the color scheme + the sheer overcoat covered in sakura petals is kind of a mix between a chihaya (miko vest, see below) and a suikan or kariginu (a type of coat from Heian era) :) -- source link
