This listing is for a woman's tomesode kimono. See below for more information on these formal kimono.

A graceful ribbon of flowing water winds across the hem, weaving between stylized pine forms highlighted with shimmering gold leaf, delicate embroidery, and fine couching. The enduring pine symbolizes longevity and resilience, while flowing water represents harmony and life's continual journey, creating a refined design full of movement and balance. Five floral family crests complete this formal kimono.

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!
