Playful chôchin (lanterns) on golden-cream ground for this antique kimono.
The lanterns are not those used for Obon but the type you see hanging in front of ochaya (tea houses), where geisha and maiko traditionally entertain patrons.
Op stresses they like to wear this kimono during a festival presenting an Oiran procession:
