Not sure if I’ve just been unattentive or what, but I seem to be noticing a lot of  chayatsuji patterned kimono popping up on ichiroya lately... which seems to be a loved design of another member of the community. ^_~ 

Water garden, which I seem to see most often shown with katazome/stencil print on chirimen/crepe.

Shibori is the main technique utilized, with the addition of yuzen-dyeing (painting) and plentiful foil highlighting.
