This is a houmongi kimono (formal visiting kimono) I made for December. According to one kimono guideline for tea ceremony December is a good month for foreign country designs like this egyptian pyramid and desert view at night. Additionally I've included a small village on the right side of the kimono hem and a camel caravan on the back right. To keep to the egyptian theme I've also included a representation of Nut in the form of the stream of stars and moon across the night sky. Nut is the goddess of sky, cosmos, mothers, astronomy and the universe in ancient Egyptian religion.

The fukuro obi is wrapped in nijuudaiko musubi. The back of the obi depicts bronze Horus on the nijuudaiko part.

The hair is done in the traditional shimada hairstyle. I've included two kanzashi of a lotus, one tama (ball) kanzashi representing some heavenly body and a birabira kanzashi on her temple in the spirit of the decorations depicting wings on some egyptian gods' heads.

Small details:
The collar is folded with the left side overlapping the right (as it should), an additional date eri is added to bring out the collar area and the back of the collar is pulled down to reveal the nape of the neck. I've also made a very faint line under the obi to indicate an ohashori fold. She is wearing white tabi (socks) and dark blue zouri (sandals).

Kimonos are a hobby of mine and I hope I've gotten most of the details right! ^___^
