Antique KIMONO 【Lily and wave】 ※Used※

I like KIMONO.
KIMONO is Japanese old wear.

Now, antique KIMONO are precious things, because these are arts.
Japanese traditional technique to make KIMONO takes so many time, because KIMONO were made all by hand work.

Although by hand work, its detail is very very delicate and gorgeous.
I cannot understand how to make such fantastic arts by hand.

Now, some new KIMONO are made by machine, so they have same pattern.
But made by hand, its pattern is only one on the earth.
So antique KIMONO is so precious.






This KIMONO is so gorgeous!
Was this worn by a noblewoman?

I want to see it before me.
If I do so, I might be put to shame.

so gorgeous...

Japanese Armor Sanada Yukimura model

Do you know Yukimura Sanada?
He is a warrior in Sengoku era before Edo era, about 17th century.
His sprints are handed down from generation to generation.
We call him the strongest warrior in Japan, because his sprint is heroic at Osaka summer war "OSAKA NATU NO JIN" in 1615.
He belonged to the troop of the TOYOTOMIs - HIDEYOSI TOYOTOMI's troops.
The TOYOTOMI's troops were successor of NOBUNAGA ODA, and fought against IEYASU TOKUGAWA.

In 1615, the outbreak of Osaka summer war, they were inferior to the TOKUGAWA's troops in the force of their troops in the war.
YUKIMURA SANADA thought that his troop couldn't have any hope to win or survive.
So he charged lonely or with a few to territory where IEYASU was.
He struggled as the God of war, and he made IEYASU decide to run away.
But he was just alone, he finally fell down near IEYASU.
Finally, TOYOTOMI's troops were beaten.

However he died in the war, his brave and behavior are handed down from generation to generation, and he has many admirers now.

I am admirer too.
I respect his brave and behavior.
