Mysterious aura for this lovely outfit featuring a delicate higanbana (spider lily) in blue tones by kanzashi artist Sakae, paired with a custom made higanbana yukata/kimono by Cotoco.

Higanbana are usually red flowers, especially link to the underworld and the dead. Seeing such a pattern in blues is lovely. It would be an amazing wear during the smothering summer, as since the Edo period, it is the perfect time for any spooky story (cold sweat fending of the heat).
