This furisode is elegant and gorgeous, yet has a gentle and familiar color scheme. The soft fabric is dyed with a gradation from yellow to light blue at the hem. From 1980 onwards. All are hand-painted using the Yuzen technique. Several types of chrysanthemums, peonies, plum blossoms, tangerine blossoms, bush clover, and camellias are arranged on the floats. Until recently, there was an unspoken rule that furisode should be worn by unmarried women in their twenties in formal situations, and many Japanese women have followed this rule. However, recently, a famous unmarried woman who is over 80 years old and is a famous interviewer, was seen wearing a furisode on TV, As actors and influencers who are not bound by rules have begun to wear furisode freely, the rules have also become more relaxed, except for formal occasions. More and more women are wearing furisode purely for their own enjoyment. I have been asked by many customers at the Arashiyama main store, "Why do Japanese kimonos have long sleeves?" I always answer, "Because it is a Japanese aesthetic sense." "Sleeves can serve as a substitute for Western-style pockets, but you shouldn't put anything valuable in them because you might drop them." He answered, "Yes." Silk kimonos were originally very expensive, so kimonos made lavishly of colorful silk fabric symbolized the wealth of their owner. About 1000 years ago, Japanese aristocratic women wore many layers of kimono, with very long hems dragging on the floor as they walked. It was a symbol of beauty and wealth at the time. Needless to say, those kimonos were extremely heavy.
There are two small stains on the upper right shoulder, but otherwise it is in very good condition. Please see the 6th photo. The obi is not included.
