襲-Kasane-

Kasane (layering) is a traditional Japanese method of combining colors that has been passed down for centuries. Among the costumes of Hananomiyako, the "Sakura Kasane" is a special outfit that beautifully expresses the elegance of cherry blossoms through traditional Japanese color layering.

The Sakura Kasane costume features a combination of white and red, symbolizing the vibrant beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom. The slits in the sleeves and the looseness around the torso allow glimpses of bare skin as the dancers move, creating a dynamic effect reminiscent of cherry blossom branches swaying in the wind. This delicate design is a key element of Hananomiyako's unique style.

Moreover, each Kasane costume is entirely handmade, with every stitch carefully sewn by hand. The craftsmanship and dedication poured into these costumes come to life on stage, blooming like cherry blossoms in motion.
