This is a VINTAGE Japanese Houmongi. Houmongi are semi-formal kimono that can be worn by both married and unmarried women. They are characterized by artfully arranged patterns that flow seamlessly across the garment's seams. This kimono displays a delicate pattern of peonies and chrysnathemums on a deep blue background This kimono likely originates in the mid to late Showa Period (1926 - 1989).

I have inspected this kimono in detail, there is a little bit of damage; some slight marks on the exterior and some patina on the white blossoms. There are also a few spots where the dye has bled a little bit, but this likely occurred during the dying process. Overall, I would rate this kimono in good vintage condition. This garment is 100% silk.

MEASUREMENTS:

Length: 159cm

Arm Span: 126cm

Width Across Back: 60cm

Total Width of Skirt: 130cm

Sleeve Drop: 49cm

SIZING

If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 149cm (4'11") - 169cm (5'7") tall, with hips about 87cm (34") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.

As I had described previously Delicate Arch was a circus later in the day and leading up to Sunset. The crowd made the evening seem like an event. It had a very festive type of atmosphere. There was nothing planned, just people enjoying life, the place we were experiencing and generally just happy to be there.

While waiting for the sun to get lower in the sky I walked around a bit. For a lot of the time the sun was behind clouds, but peaked through just enough during this shot. We lucked out when the sun got to the horizon as we had a perfect glow at sunset.

This whole time people took turns getting shots standing under the arch.

The Delicate Arch at Arches National Park in Utah.

Spring is in full bloom and summer is closer than ever. Soon I'll be in Mexico with one of my good friends Toni, living the life. I couldn't help but to go to the city (Chicago, downtown), taking full advantage of the wonderful weather. Obsessed with PINK, here I was laying in the grass with some of Spring's finest. Like I told my bf today...I am a delicate flower, treat me as one. Handle with care. My petals are frail. Treat me like....a flower.

This is a Japanese Anemone growing in our garden.

Light painting at the delicaate arch

This one was done as follows:

In Photoshop CS2, I made 4 copies of the original. Then I turned them all off. Starting from the first copy at the bottom (making each visible as I worked on them),

1) inverted + gaussian blur + color dodge blend

2) desaturated + embossed with hard light blend

3) just changed the blend to hard light

4) changed to "color" blend mode at about 65% opacity. (that's the uppermost layer).

This is a photograph of something that's been called a "dream drop". It's a piece of low-grade crystal cut, shaped, and polished to look like a drop of liquid. Beautiful to look at with light shining through, and very breakable, or delicate.

After I hiked all day around Arches National Park, I decided to capture the sunset by Delicate Arch. It wasn't what I expected, but the experience still was nice.

Playing with brusho, I created this background and stamped Delicate Floral and watercoloured it.

My experiments with Macro ..I know i still need to learn :)

This delicate little flower is very aggressive. I've been removing it for the last several years. I do like it right now - for about two weeks.

Again.
