I love the detail on this kimono: Silver and gold stenciled leafing (surihaku), hand-painted gold, silver, and metallic green and blue, highlighted by gold "sticking" (haritsuke).

These are also some of my favorite colors. (The green is a bit too lime for me, but it goes so well with the rest that I'm beginning to like it.)

Many thanks to Ichiroya for identifying the artisan's stamp: Marusho. "Uchikake and furisode which are made by Marusho are considered to be the highest quality of dyed uchikake and kakeshita," according to Mr. Wada (of Ichiroya).
