We have Kimonos in our house as well. No ties to Japan, other than our daughter has an affinity. We stress appreciation over appropriation, so the Amazon kimono tat is OUT. I've managed to learn and hunt down some authentic gear, one complete kimono, and another about half complete.
All that to say, I can't help but think that a tartan Obi would be a better look, and presentation of tartan, in my opinion.

The lass is pretty creative. One wonders what she could do with some real wool tartan.

I have seen some people wear a tartan obi (Japanese belt) with a kimono and a few kimonos made with a checkered weave pattern, yet this one has an original look.

Ah, I would think a tartan hakama would be a good look as well!
