The number of artisans who possess traditional techniques for weaving and dyeing kimonos and obi with time-honored craftsmanship is dwindling.

We hope that young ladies wearing furisode will choose to wear furisode and obi made with these authentic, traditional methods.

As shown in the 8th image, although difficult to discern in photos, the dye has penetrated to the reverse side of the fabric, indicating that this piece was hand-dyed by an artisan. Modern inkjet printing cannot achieve such deep color penetration to the back.

Furthermore, as seen in images 5-7, extensive gold leaf decoration has been applied. The unevenness of the lines and dots suggests that each one was meticulously hand-painted by an artisan.

As shown in the 4th image, intricate gold thread embroidery has been skillfully incorporated, adding to the luxurious feel.

This is a truly magnificent furisode that showcases exceptional craftsmanship.

With such detailed handiwork evident throughout, kimonos made with the fine techniques of artisans may soon become a rarity.

We highly recommend this for young ladies who wish to adorn themselves with genuine luxury.

For the obi, we have paired it with a luxurious Nishijin-ori fukuro obi, woven with gold and blue metallic threads throughout. The subtle shifts in the blue hues depending on the light beautifully complement the blue of the furisode.
Its sophisticated design makes it versatile, suitable not only for furisode but also for tomesode, houmongi, and tsukesage. This is an obi that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
