and the powerful simplicity of Ikebana (the Japanese flower arrangement).\r\n\r\n<style type='text\/css'>\n    #ngg-gallery-10049 .ngg-pro-masonry-item {\n        margin-bottom: 4px;\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"ngg-pro-masonry\" id=\"ngg-gallery-10049\">\n    <div class='ngg-pro-masonry-gutter' style='width: 4px'><\/div>\n    <div class='ngg-pro-masonry-sizer' style='width: 200px'><\/div>\n                <div class='ngg-pro-masonry-item' style='height: 182px;

And that\u2019s precisely the type of feeling that Yoshida wants her one-piece dresses to transmit. The irregularity of the shapes and the asymmetries is her way of meeting tradition with a more contemporary style. The use of rich fabrics add a sophisticate touch of quality and comfort to the grace and playfulness of Yucasii\u2019s designs and patterns.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"nextgen_pro_blog_gallery\"
