About the pattern & material
▫️Pattern: Hana cho mon (flowers and butterfly)
▫️Technique: Dyeing
The butterfly spreading its wings blends in perfectly with the floral pattern.
Or you could say that the flowers are blooming along with the butterflies.
I think this reflects the author's view that both types of existence are beautiful.
The kimono has a muted tone, but the bold pattern gives it a moderate presence.
