Ichina in Autumn

Some lovely shots of Kagurazaka’s own Ichina-chan in her November attire. Her Furisode in splendid blue is accessorized with the traditional maple leaf kanzashi so beloved by Karyukai enthusiasts. Since the Heian era, like Hanami, Momijigari has been a way to appreciate the turning of the seasons as well as the delicate and fleeting beauty of nature. The maple leaf in bright yellow and red are incomparably Japanese, these colours are of such an unique vibrancy, no wonder their luster has found itself into the wardrobe of the Geisha.
