Harumei
Camellia (?) furisode
Fun story: When I was first in Japan in 2007, I found a beautiful green furisode for sale in a second-hand shop in Nagoya, but it was around $200. Since the shop didn't take credit cards and I didn't have that kind of cash on me that day, I had to pass it up. So imagine my surprise when, two years later, I found this one in Chicago Harajuku in Kyoto. The designs are slightly different -- the one from Nagoya had red flowers instead of the dark pink ones here, and didn't have the line of Kelly-green cherry blossoms in the black section like this one does -- but they were similar enough that I felt it was meant to be.
