Traditional Ryukyu kimonos are constructed of handwoven fabric with bingata natural dye designs. The underlying fabric is also handwoven, however the weave structure differs and consists of the Kasuri Ikat style.
A Hanagasa (lotus flower hat) is typically worn with the traditional bingata kimono as seen on these Ryukyu dancers…
As you can see, the natural beauty of the Islands are depicted in the Ryukyu kimono culture…flowing water, flora, birds and bright tropical colors…
