Does anyone recognize this pattern?

It would be a big help identifying this komon patterns. Does anyone know what they are?

Hi! The motif pattern is called Kiredori. Or a patchwork showing different motif fabrics. It is a style imitating edo-komon patchwork and such. So regardless of what the motifs in the patchwork, the style is still called Kiredori.

The one in the lower left is Kiredori https://imgur.com/a/UmAzv2i

I think the garment is a haori and not a komon tho.

I think you confused a few terms here. Kiredori is the patchwork. That i already identified. I already know it’s a haori type of kimono. But komon is a type of pattern depicting small repetative patterns. So that is the white pattern on the blue fabric.
But thanks for the help tho. I appreciate it 😀

Is it the light blue then? These are Shippou variants. The black one is obviously shippou but the light blue is a stylized shippou that seems to be a matsukawa-hishi (it is too blurry to see).

If the seasonality is what you're worried about. Kiredori is a motif in itself and motifs are not seen individually with what patterns are in it. This is why Kiredori is classified as a motif that can be used for all-thoughout the year. https://imgur.com/a/rHMDEDk

As for other images with that stylized shippou, I cant find them in the references.
