Luscious purple for this antique summer kimono showing jorogumo (golden orb-weaver spider) on their delicate webs.
OP nicknamed this kimono 'Temptation of the Spider's Web', a nod to the fact jorogumo also used to designate dangerous youkai who loved to lure humans, especially men, and then devour them. They appeared as partly or full humans, always taking the shape of beautiful and entrancing women.
Their name was originally written with 女郎 kanji lit. meaning “whore” which may explain the association often found in tales between them and classical yujo (prostitute) features and tools – such as cord instruments (like shamisen, or sometimes biwa).
