tanuki-kimono:Regal jewel tones for this kakeshita (=bridal furisode). I love the delicate depiction of feathers (usually this motif is bigger) and how nice the peacock looks (they usually look sooo pissed xD).Peacocks are often used in Buddhism (symbolizing both the sky, the Dharma, or the watchful eyes of the Buddha for example). In Japan they also symbolize prosperity for one’s family hence their use on bridal items. -- source link
