 Genichirou, we must do something about your outdated yukata collection. Perhaps Kite-san might be willing to help?

Bland, but not entirely unsalvageably dated.

Are you planning on getting him an entirely new one or simply finding an alternative way to wearing them? Because even a change in obi could make quite a difference, if you pick something vibrant enough.

Renji forgot to mention the grey, medium-grey, dark grey, greyish black...

Sanada is ridiculously monochromatic.

Ideally we would get him into more modern prints and styles.

However, the obi idea is a good one. Genichirou would be less resistant if the change starts out gradual.

The unfortunate truth in fashion is that even the best designs can be spoiled by a model feeling uncomfortable in them. A full print or overly colored ensemble might just work against your attempts at convincing him to broaden his horizons.

That said, there are plenty of options out there that are minimalist enough that the modern twist isn’t too overt. Try finding something with patterns only at the hemlines or shoulders, perhaps.

That is certainly something to think about. Thank you for your advice, Kite-san.
