Plum flowers from Matsuyama ~松山の梅~

Visited Matsuyama in January. 

Plum flowers start to bloom in front of Matsuyama castle.  Beautiful Japanese early spring. 

Also got a new han'eri (inside collar) with plum flower pattern. 

Used it for our February kimono gathering.  Generaly January & February are the only months when plum flower patterns can be worn.  Reused a shoe accessory as obi-dome.
