<br />
====The Water====
An outfit of glistening black satin, high-collared but sleeveless, divided at the sides for ease of movement, its back longer than its front to produce a train behind it. At the waist, two [[Silk]] belts are layered, each shaped in the form of waves: a thinner blue-green over a wider dark blue. A silver wire, from which dangle small beads of [[Onyx]] stone, weighs the thinner belt to circle the waist in response to movement.<br />

====The Amaranthine Ascent====
A long-sleeved robe, painted in a hyper-realistic style.

ON DISPLAY<br />
<br />
====The Garden Pavilion====
A long-sleeved robe of light blue cloth, painted with a detailed scene of Dynasts gathered to play floating cups in an open garden pavilion.

The painting is the work of [[Kuujo Gukaizhi]].<br />

====The Martial Sage====
An outfit consisting of a white robe of gleaming [[Silk]], in two layers: the outer layer is pure white, the inner a pale green. The outer layer has been cut out to depict what appear to be scholars and generals around a map of Creation which occupies the base of the robe.

A loose robe of white [[Silk]], edged in blue, over which sits a heavy armoured mantle of [[Lead]] plates lacquered in scarlet, linked with gold chain.

<br />
====The Pools of Purity====
A loose gown consisting of thousands of silk threads woven through opaque glass beads, which shimmer with the wearer’s movements. The arms are left bare, though wrists and waist bear matching bands of gold, depicting sheaves of rice. <br />
SOLD: ?<br />
<br />
====The Tree of Mercy====
 A light robe of pale blue silk, the colour of a sapphire sky, up which climb the dark branches of an apricot tree, from which in turn burst blossoms of white and yellow. The robe hangs open at the chest, closing at a broad obi belt of pale green silk, printed with a pattern of halved apricots. From the obi, silk ‘purses’ hang over either hip, though their flaps do not open. Open-toed boots of soft brown leather complete the ensemble.<br />

A slight dress of yellow silk over the bodice, closed at the back and held to neck and shoulders by ribbons of purple silk. Ribbons also lace down the legs, to yellow silken slippers. The ribbons are carefully wrapped, and kept in shape by a single clasp at the neck, an ornately-wrought [[Passion Vines|passion flower]] of gold set with [[Garnet]] and [[Fire Agate]].<br />
