Festive red for this outfit, pairing a kimono with dynamic brush-like swirls, with an antique black base obi depicting an Ise-ebi among bamboo leaves.
Ise ebi (Japanese spiny lobster) are an auspicious creature part of New year osechi ryôri celebratory dishes: their bent back make them look like an old person, hence why they symbolize wishes for long life :)

Decapocember Day 3: Decapods of the infraorder Achelata are distinguishable by their lack of claws and enlarged second antennae. Spiny lobsters have very long antennae, while slipper lobsters opted for chunky, plate-shaped antennae.

[All the way to the island. All the way to the island. Don't you guys have lobster on the island? We have spiny lobster on the island. The quality difference is night and day. I'm timing you to see if you can get this done]
