Artist's Comments

My kimono club :iconkimono-lovers: is holding its first contest now!

This is my entry for it. The theme is spring kimono. There are a list of motifs in the clubs journal and the goal of the contest was to design a kimono based on at least one of those motifs. I chose the wysteria motif and decided to do a drawing of Fuji Musume (the wysteria maiden).

Fuji Musume is a very famous dance performed both by maiko, and onnagata (in kabuki). There isn't really much of a story, but from what I remember it basically tells about the life of the wysteria tree embodied in a young woman. I based the kimono on a version of the costume that I fell in love with a while back and nearly bought.

Oh absolutely lovely! I do hope you win.. but I think wysteria is a perfect embodiment of spring and suits the subject matter perfectly!
