This listing is for a traditional vintage furisode kimono originally created for a young, unmarried woman.
This kimono is an embroidered dream. The silk is a lightening motif jacquard in white with an emerald green cloud pattern. And sweeping across the hem, sleeves, and shoulders is an elaborately embroidered stream of flowers in expertly done satin stitching.
Look closer to see the golden diamond grid embroidered across the bottom, with each diamond filled with a floral, crest or dozens of thin, thin gold lines. This must have taken many, many months to complete.
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 three colors (brown, black, 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 for $15 (see Add a Sash? above).
For more information on wearing a furisode or the traditional textile techniques used to make this kimono, see videos below.
