Yes, it’s true- I FINALLY got a bunny yukata in my size. ^^ (Most of them are for kids.) It’s adorable and green and purple and bunny-covered and I love it. I got it from this seller: Ebay : BabyMoti.
I also bought that antique rose-painted Nagoya obi I’ve been eyeing for months. The seller relisted it so many times, and I was a bit concerned that they’d quit relisting it, so… ^^;
I’m thinking that it may be from the time immediately following WWII- I’ve heard reports of kimono/obi being ‘painted’ in this manner since dyeing was too expensive in the post-war economy. The fabric is very thick and luxurious- I *think* that it’s silk, but I’ve never felt anything quite like it. :?
Really, though, I bought it because I love roses and wanted to wear it with this Taisho-era irotomesode. And it would have been JUST PERFECT, but after ordering it, I remembered that Nagoya obi are a bit too informal for tomesode. ^^; Not that anyone in my state would even notice that. TT_TT I live in the middle of a kimono desert… :(
