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.
This kimono is a light pink background with a cloud and maple leaf (momiji) jacquard. At the front hem is a splash of purple at the corner, bordering a display of Spring flowers that includes camellia and irises. A rainbow of color!
This furisode is unusual in that it seems to be a silky-synthetic blend rather than the more commonly found silk. This makes it easier to launder, while still keeping a silky feel.
As with many vintage kimono with light colored backgrounds, there a couple of minor blemishes - see last photo - but we believe they do not detract from the beauty, wearability, or display value of this furisode.
The design seems to have been printed to imitate the yuzen technique, even adding gold to the edges of each element that is typically left white. The colors are bright and beautiful. See video below for more about this technique.
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 for $15 (see Add a Sash? above).
