JSHE- Sengoku Summer

Following my Japanese Seasons/Historical Eras series...

Sengoku Summer 

This girl from the Sengoku period (middle XV to early XVII centuries) wears formal summer clothes for the samurai class women. In winter, the heavily embroided uchiki was worn as another full layer of clothes, but in the hot summer, it was only tied at the waist, over the kimono. As samurai, she has a tanto (short knife) on her obi, and holds a fan, ready to war!

Deep blue, fresh green, vibrant tones... all Summer colors. The uchiki pattern is not exactly summer-ish, but it's not connected to other specific season either, so... I guess she looks ok. ^^
