Putting aside for the moment how good or bad the illustration is, this is one of my personal favorites. It is possible to go for a simple Japanese look using only kimono, but I think it is also stylish to use it as a fashion item. It may seem uncharacteristic of Baiken to think of kimono as fashionable, but she is the only one who can wear a kimono at the moment, so I thought it was a good idea to use it in that way.
