In contrast to the furisode, which is worn as a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood, the furisode worn by the bride is a hare to celebrate the life event of the rite of passage from unmarried to married. It is also called ``Odori'' because of the way it is worn. We will introduce furisode for adult women, which have class and personality, and are suitable for the end of the Reiwa era, along with their design expressions.

Furisode with lily and wisteria themes, each boasting a different beauty

Flower patterns exist all over the world, but in Japan, which has a rich variety of seasons, plants that bloom in each season are familiar to us, and they are designed in a wide variety of ways, making it easy to enjoy their beauty. can. This time, we will be introducing two gorgeous bridal furisode dresses that bring out the beauty of women, with the theme of flowers and flowers from the seasons when the greenery turns green from early summer to summer, when they are full of life.

The lily flower is known as a synonym for beauty, as in the proverb, ``If you stand up, you'll look like a peony, when you sit, you'll look like a peony, and when you walk, you'll look like a lily'', which describes a woman's beautiful appearance and demeanor. The lily pattern is now often used as a pattern for kimonos and obi belts, and its name can be seen in the Kojiki, but it seems that it was not featured in many dyed and woven textiles in the medieval and early modern times than expected. In the long-sleeved kimono in the photo, ``Kuroji Tatewakuliuri'', elegant white lilies bloom all over the gorgeous black background, giving off a gorgeous scent that seems to waft around. There is also plenty of gold embroidery on the inside and outside of the petals, giving it a luxurious feel. The unique impression of lily flowers, which does not differentiate between Japanese and Western styles, is sure to enhance the beauty of the bride, regardless of the venue or ceremony.

In addition, the tatewaku (tatewaku) patterns are placed together like a hedge for a lily to entrust itself to. Tatewaku is an elegant Yusoku pattern that was used on the costumes of aristocrats and Noh costumes. It has a sense of dignity, yet its wavy curved design has a somewhat stylish feel. The charm of this long-sleeved kimono design, which combines profoundness and sophistication, is largely due to the unique characteristics of the lily and tachiwaku patterns, as well as their combination.

Wisteria has been loved since ancient times, and was established as a pattern in the late Heian period, when the Fujiwara clan was at its peak. They are often seen in Yusho patterns and are also used as motifs for family crests, and there are over 50 types of them. Not to mention the beautiful and elegant shape of the weeping flower clusters, it is also an auspicious pattern that symbolizes the prosperity of descendants. The ``white wisteria'' furisode pictured below is a kimono with a pure white background that elegantly depicts the majestic flower clusters in sweet colors and gold. It is a piece that gives a sense of gaiety and youthfulness, reminiscent of performing arts costumes such as the Kabuki dance ``Fuji Musume'', which was inspired by Otsu-e.
