Kimono of Season

　　　　　　　　＊A flower and the scenery of the season are designs of the kimonos which is often used.
　　　　　　　　　 It looks smart to wear them early than the true season.
　　　　　　　　　 They are worn before half moon or one month.
　　　　　　　　　 But it is not the rule of the kimono to wear the design of the season by all means.
　　　　　　　　　 For example, I wear the kimono of the color to be settled down in the season of many flowers.
　　　　　　　　　 Conversely, I wear the kimono of a bright color in a season of a few flowers.
　　　　　　　　　 It is smart to wear the color that I matched in not only the pattern but also a season.

　　　　　　　＊There is wisteria flowers in the pattern in April.
　　　　　　　　　 But, the wisteria flowers in which the flower hung down may be inauspicious.
　　　　　　　　　 So cautions are required when wearing the pattern.
　　　　　　　　　 A thing to be warned is in other patterns.
　　　　　　　　　 As for the camellia of the pattern in February, a flower drops.
　　　　　　　　　 The cherry blossom of the pattern in March fell apart.
　　　　　　　　　 Cautions are required,because there is a case that these are inauspicious.
