To a Long Life and Good Health

Only in Miyagawacho: Fukucho’s gorgeous kuromontsuki during the new years greetings. Shin aisatsu is one of my favorite karyukai events as we get to ooh and aah at stunning kimono! As you guys know, i adore kuromontsuki and unusual patterns so i just had to feature Fukucho’s great piece. Look it has shrimps on it!

The shrimps are an auspicious motif that represent longevity, specially during new years as it not only is a winter motif but also a staple of traditional new years food. I’m sure it will bring Fukucho good fortune in 2019, she deserves it!
