Captivated by the Elegant "Hiki-Furisode": The Beauty of Japan's Traditional Bridal Attire!

Do You Know "Hiki Furisode"?

"Furisode," the formal attire for unmarried women worn during ceremonies like Coming of Age Day and graduation, has a specific way of wearing it called "Hiki Furisode"＊

What is Hiki Furisode?＊

When wearing a regular kimono, we create an "ohashori" (the folded part at the waist to adjust the length). However, if you wear a furisode without creating this fold, the hem will drag on the ground. This is the style known as "Hiki Furisode"♡

A Furisode Style Permitted Only for Brides♡

This style, also called "Ohiki-duri," where the long hem drags on the ground, is formal attire permitted only for brides during weddings＊

Since it is not layered with an outer kimono, it allows for easier movement, and it’s not heavy, making it less burdensome than wearing a full ensemble＊
