This
symbol is a Mon.
A mon is a Japanese family crest.
This particular mon is one of an orchid.
This motif is hand-painted repeatedly throughout the
kimono as a pattern. |
From
the scent of a single orchid comes the dream of a million
springs.
Her eyes close gently over the passing of her childhood, and
she breathes in deeply the fragrant blossom of her womanhood
and new beginnings.
