This listing is for a woman's tomesode kimono. See below for more about this formal style of kimono. 

Graceful and understated, this elegant tomesode features layered wave motifs flowing across the hem, beautifully done in the stenciled yuzen technique with shimmering gold leaf and fine couching embroidery. The enduring wave pattern symbolizes resilience, peace, and good fortune, while the paulownia family crests add a distinguished touch of heritage, creating a timeless design with quiet sophistication.

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 OBI section. 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 for (see Add a Sash? above).

Tomesode are among the most formal styles of kimono, traditionally worn by the mother of the bride or groom and other close family members at weddings. They typically feature one, three, or five family crests, with an elegant design concentrated along the lower hem.  See the video below for more!
