There are also original princesses based on seasonal flowers, such as a rapeseed blossom princess and an iris princess. The head of a research institute on the history of beauty explains how princesses dressed in each period. A practice chapter covers coloring basics and tips. Junko Suzuki has made many coloring books about kimono and kabuki.
