"Sunlit Clouds" Vintage Furisode Kimono
type: Product
description: 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. Soft and luminous, this furisode layers ornate floral medallions in warm orange, buttercream, yellow, and gold across drifting clouds of peach. Yuzen dyeing is accented with shimmering gold leaf and fine gold couching, while a woven cloud jacquard quietly echoes the floating cloud motif throughout the silk. The abundant stylized blossoms and clouds create an auspicious design associated with beauty, good fortune, and an ever-changing future. Signs of age are present, including light blemishes or mottling areas from age and use, see last photo(s). 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). For more information on wearing a furisode or the traditional textile techniques used to make this kimono, see videos below.
