A furisode is a traditional Japanese kimono characterized by its long, flowing sleeves. Typically worn by young, unmarried women, it is often made from vibrant fabrics and adorned with intricate patterns. The length of the sleeves symbolizes youth and is a key feature that distinguishes it from other types of kimonos. Furisode are commonly worn during special occasions, such as the Seijin Shiki (Coming of Age Day) and weddings. The garment is usually paired with an obi, a wide belt that secures the kimono, and is often accessorized with various traditional items, enhancing its elegance and cultural significance.
