hello!! first of all, thank you for running one of the coolest blogs on this platform. your work is a real treasure trove.

i was wondering if you knew of the blog kumakimonokoi and its incredible ''kimono textbook'' ressource? it was a great catalogue of what kimono are worn during what season, what degree of formality, etc, i believe it was ran by billy matsunaga. the blog is now gone, and i don't follow her socials- so i'm not up to date. do you know if this ressource has been moved somewhere, or if a similar catalogue could be available elsewhere? it was so helpful, i'm gutted to think it might have vanished haha ;;

Hi! Billy Matsunaga is very much active, her new site is here, and you can find her on youtube and instagram :)

For the ressources, many sites do provide those type of info - depending of what degree of details you need of course. Search for kimono/着物 TPO (= short for Time-Place-Occasion).

Of what I believe could help you, here is a handy chart (source?):

And this seasonality one from AubergineFleur's blog, also covering accessories like obijime/obiage/juban:

The KimonoLady doesn't post thereanymore, but she has made this pattern chart in the past:

Hope it helps!

"firefly got cancelled too soon" "sense 8 needed more seasons" what about MY obscure monster-of-the-week 90s tween drama that ended on a massive cliffhanger and then disappeared from relevance?? Huh?? Anyway I miss you The Pink Opaque, have an Isabel doodle to add to the shrine

also sorry for drawing a season 2 outfit with a season 4 hairstyle, reference images are hard to come by

Also also if anyone hasnt seen this and is anyway interested I am begging you to just start it. The beginning is a bit jarring but it's sooooo worth it. Sometimes it's avalible on tubi, I've seen some box sets avalible at goodwill too (I'm starting a collection haha, fair warning though season 3 is very hard to come by, so it's a lot easier to just find the special collections they were making at the time [halloween specials/winter formal arc, etc] and look up an episode guide online) , honestly though if you ask around I'm sure someone here has a google drive with all the episodes on it or something. Just go watch it !! Please

Hello, tanuki!

I do so adore your blog. You select the most interesting patterns and colours to showcase; it’s a feast for the eyes and brain!

I understand this may be a liiiil outside your wheelhouse, but as Goggle continues to degrade, I thought I’d have less frustration searching elsewhere: is there a Japanese equivalent to White Tie dress?

Thank you very much for all your work!

Hiiii your ask sat in my inbox for so long I apologize T_T

As anglo-saxon "white tie" expects super formal gala type of dress, same goes for Japanese hyper formal events.

Nowadays, most Japanese people would more easily favor Western style attire, but if choosing kimono, top two rows of pic below show equivalents:

Irotomesode for married women / women of a certain age. Kurotomesode could be worn in an official setting, but for a more light-hearted gala, wearer would present herself as pretty "traditional" minded if picking a kurotomesode imo (?I don't know it could work for older women though?)

Furisode, THE best choice hands down for young women / artists of all ages. Bring all the bling!!!

Formal hômongi is a great option, allowing more expression than demure irotomesode (tbh hômongi is probably the closest thing to a Western cocktail dress ^^)

Men do not have as many options sadly: 紋付羽織袴 montsuki-haori-hakama attire is pretty similar in formality to the classical American white tie. This formal wear pairs, as name stresses, haori (with tassel haori-himo, see different types here) + nagagi (men kimono) + hakama.

Kuromontsuki (black base montsuki, the most formal) or iromontsuki (colored montsuki) are both acceptable. Choices in fabrics, patterns, and colors would show wearer's style.

For men and women alike, the more formal the event is, the more mon (crest) garments presents (5 crests being the maximum). Crest should be dyed into the fabric (not outlined with thread which is the less formal way the wear crest).

Hope that helps ;)
