Material: pure silk
One frequently sees this motif used in traditional dance costumes. When translated, “Goshikiryusui” means “running water with five different colors.” The red lining forms a beautiful contrast to the outer material. I am amazed by how these traditional motifs are transformed into modern fashion statements.
I have always thought about taking an older kimono and turning into things like ties, and gift wrap.
