Look at this beautiful project in Japan to design new Kimono models inspired by traditional Palestinian clothes! 🇵🇸 

Some of the project's creations were displayed at a charity bazaar in Tokyo and the founder has been very vocal about Palestine, sharing posts in support with fundraising 🇵🇸 

This is a very worthy group project, of communion of ideas, talent and cultures. Some kimono collars were embroidered by refugee woman in Ramallah, West Bank.

Check the official page where they sell the costumes and even the embroidery if you want to show support: https://www.facebook.com/100057255738695/posts/pfbid02zweY1AM5n1EciiLSTga6QKo8trE2PgZMaLLHqEJWKSeAMGqtxRMNjKU7FYLV8eLHl/

"The dragonfly (tonbo)...is one of the oldest motifs in Japan, symbolic of patriotism, courage, and good fortune. Samurai warriors considered the dragonfly the victory insect because of its agility and perceived fearlessness. Thriving in watery rice fields, it was also believed to be a sign of a good harvest. Dragonflies appear in various art forms in Japan but became particularly prominent in the bold designs of early twentieth-century kimonos, reflecting the influence of the Western Art Nouveau movement. Their seasonal association made dragonflies appropriate for summer kimonos."

The fifth outfit of "Death Defying Feats" (Season 3, Episode 1) is a fetching blue embroidered kimono, paired with a gold lamé headwrap with a jeweled green bow.

A staple in Phryne's considerable wardrobe, she appears backstage in yet another gorgeous kimono dressing gown. Crafted from an imperial blue silk, it is embroidered on each side with leaves and a section of yellow and red roses before trailing down into a bunch of green grapes. This authentic 1920's fabric is not only embroidered, but also embossed with leaf-like patterns throughout. As tradition in a genuine kimono, the swinging sleeve is attached only at the top of the shoulder, with the bottom left open to allow the under-kimono to show through.

The lining is a lovely bright green silk in order to pick up on the colors of the floral embroidery. She finishes her look with a gold lamé turban as part of the mermaid costume underneath, complete with strings of green beads and jewels to create a bow. Her gold head wrap can be seen in a different configuration at the end of "The Green Mill Murder" (1x03).
