Alternate Kimono #4:
I have only seen this one in VIZ's promotional "Chibi-art" These pictures show Sesshomaru as a Chibi, or a small child. This kimono is the one he wore when he was very young, aged at about 7 or 8 years old in "human years". This one is of Kosode style, with smaller sleeves than we normally see him wearing. The fabric is a pale mint green.
On the front and back of each sleeve, near the boarder are embroidered three family crests (twelve in all). The crest is repeated on the neck and shoulder of the left side.
Each crest consists of a triple hexagon with a six petaled white plum blossom in the center of each green hexagon, surrounded by a white boarder.
With this one we see Sesshy wearing a hakama made of the same mint green cloth. He wears neither armor, nor shoes, with this, but is shown wearing a yellow unpatternd Heko-obi.
Interestingly in these Chibi pictures we see VIZ portraying him both as a demon with a tail, and as a demon wearing a fur stole.
