This listing is for a traditional vintage furisode kimono - the most formal, long-sleeved style created for a young, unmarried woman.  See below for more detail.

Graceful and richly detailed, this vintage furisode unfolds like a painted sky, with soft champagne silk woven in a cloud jacquard and adorned with bold folding fans. Crimson, gold, and warm orange fans drift across the surface, each filled with embroidered florals (plum blossoms, peonies, and mums), metallic couching, and a delicate shibori texture that adds depth and movement. The contrast between the airy cloud background and the saturated fan panels creates a dramatic yet elegant balance, making this kimono feel ceremonial and romantic. This kimono captures the craftsmanship and visual poetry of mid-century Japanese formal wear.

Furisode are worn for formal events, such as Seijin-no-hi (Coming of Age Day, sometimes translated as Adults Day) in early January. Furisode are also worn for weddings, recitals, receptions, and other celebrations calling for formal attire. Note the long sleeves (furi = long, sode = sleeves) sometimes called "butterfly sleeves", which flow with grace when she gestures, attracting male attention!

If you'd like to display the kimono, we offer hanging rods in a variety of colors (brown, black, natural, white, and red) - see the Add a Display Rod? tab below.

If you'd like to wear or display this kimono with a traditional obi, browse our Fukuro Style Obi or email us if you don't see one you like. Although it isn't traditional, if you'd like one of our simple cotton sashes to wear with this, we'll choose a complimenting color (see Add a Sash? above).
