Wentke (Gown)
Mid 18th Century
The Netherlands
Women in Hindeloopen, a town in the northern Netherlandish province of Friesland, traditionally wore this type of striking lightweight coat, called a wentke, on special occasions. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, wentkes were usually made of boldly patterned Indian chintzes, and contrary to the custom in the rest of Europe of confining chintz to casual and private occasions, residents of Hindeloopen elevated this exotic fabric to a formal status. The wentke was often worn with other garments of Indian cotton. (The MET)

Gorgeous purple ground for this irotomesode showing a sedge of heron taking flight. The ground is woven with discreet yukiwa (stylized snowflake).
OP paired it with a sarasa (calico) obi depicting a boat in a scenery of Persian inspiration.

I put on christmas music this morning to do morning things, and @anexperimentallife was doing his silly caveman voice to sing along every now and then. Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" comes on and rob caveman sings "san tah bay beeeee" and so of course i say "THOG FUCK SANTA".
Rob says,"Thog fuck that old man. Thog fuck santa on bear skin rug by fire. Thog wife fill house with chintz. Thog fuck santa on the floor."
