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.

Striking and celebratory, this vintage furisode kimono commands attention with sweeping chrysanthemums blooming across a vivid green background. Oversized red, white, and golden yellow spider mums cascade, their petals enhanced with gold leaf and fine couching that catch the light with every movement. Dozens more are outined in white.

Beneath the surface, a refined pine diamond jacquard and an overall woven gold metallic shimmer add depth and texture, elevating the composition from bold to truly luxurious. The chrysanthemums, a symbol of longevity and refinement, lend timeless cultural significance. Festive yet regal!

Unfortunately, there are signs of age with some light discolorations that are difficult to see in certain lighting, see last photos. 

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).
