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.

The Japanese aesthetic sense of combining seasonal plants

Using plants that decorate each season as themes for kimonos is a Japanese aesthetic sense that values ​​the season in which clothing is worn. On the other hand, it may be a uniquely Japanese sensibility to express in one piece the plants of all four seasons, which in reality cannot bloom at the same time, and enjoy the splendor of a hundred flowers.

The long-sleeved kimono, ``Purple Ground Mountain Blossom Flower Ryusui,'' is a classy piece with flowers on a purple background.A purple kimono gives off a classical feel and a calm and elegant impression.From the shoulder to the best time to see, it expresses cloud removal, spring flowers, and mountain blooms. Additionally, at the hem, there are running water, irises, and exotic chrysanthemums such as Chinese flowers and chintz. The pattern is a combination of flowers from spring and autumn, which have a mild climate, and has different patterns arranged in upper and lower tiers from the shoulders to the hem, giving it a unique feel.

The unique feature of this long-sleeved kimono is that it uses three types of flower patterns, along with cloud cover and running water, giving it the impression of a landscape pattern. Landscape patterns often express various motifs in detail, such as Gosho Kai, Chaya Tsuji, Rakuchu Rakugai, etc., but this long-sleeved kimono shifts the eye from the shoulder to the hem by creating two landscapes that can be seen from different perspectives. There is a similar effect.

Since ancient times, the aristocrats played with shells, and the shell casings used to store them were also used as bridal accessories for the upper class in the Middle Ages. For this reason, it has become a typical pattern for Kotobuki's kimono and obi, such as tomesode. The Furisode ``Kuroji Kaioke'' is a shell bucket with an open lid, with matching shells and strings arranged irregularly, giving the impression of a princess having fun. Furthermore, various flowers such as wisteria, paulownia, cherry blossoms, and chrysanthemums are depicted on the shells and shells. The use of flower patterns in the motifs brings out the gorgeousness and beauty even more, which is a pattern expression cultivated by the Japanese aesthetic sense. The orthodox dynastic pattern will take the bride to the heights of elegance and class.
