tanuki-kimono: Sleek late summer/early autumn kimono depicting mushikui (worm-eaten) yatsude (paperplant) leaves. This kimono must be very pretty when worn, as the leaves are made from urushiito (lacquered threads) and the ground has discreet gold and silvery threads. Shimmery!Yatsude nickname is tengu no uchiwa or “tengu’s fan”, as those mighty demons are sometimes depicted using those large and sturdy leaves in place of their usual wide feathered fan (ha uchiwa): (photos from) -- source link
