Furisode – Japanese long sleeved kimono


Furisode is a very gorgeous long-sleeved kimono of the Edo period (AD 1603-1868).
It is a formal dress worn by the unmarried women or single woman at the festival or formal scene, and a very elegant and glossy dress that only unmarried or single woman can wear.






It is quite different from the Yukata that was introduced in other blog post.

It is very difficult to wear the hair set and the kimono as well, and it is not possible to wear it simply unless helped by a special person.
It is a special dress worn during the special times such as the celebration like the coming of age ceremony and wedding reception.
