A is not for Apple Kimono
Aspidistra, Armory, Abolition, Auld These words guided the theme of the A kimono. Rubbings are from the Armory during the Civil War, calligraphy of the letter A, abolition of slavery after the Civil War, and images of the Aspidistra.

Elderberry, England, elegant are the words which guided this kimono. The two words “England and elegant” led to the elegant theory of evolution by Darwin.

The birds are living in the elderberry bushes.
