Japanese Furisode: Ceremonial Kimono for Unmarried Women

The Furisode is the most formal style of kimono, worn exclusively by unmarried women in Japan. Recognizable by its long, flowing sleeves, the furisode is made of very fine, brightly coloured silk. This exquisite garment is a central part of celebrating a young woman's Coming of Age Day (the year she turns 20), where wearing the furisode signifies that she is both single and a legal adult, and thus available for marriage.
