The Importance of Elegance! A Hair Style Catalog to Refer to When Wearing a Furisode for Your Engagement Ceremony ♡

What is the traditional pre-wedding ceremony "Yuinou"?

The ceremony known as "Yuinou" involves exchanging items of value called "Yuinouhin" and "Yuinoukin" between both families.

It has been a traditional ceremony in Japan for about 1,500 years, formalizing engagements.

In the past, the ceremony was conducted by a mediator (nakoudo) without both families meeting face to face.

Today, it is common for both families, including the bride and groom, to meet at a restaurant or traditional inn for a "simplified Yuinou" ceremony that also serves as an introduction.

The standard attire for Yuinou is a furisode!

The most appropriate attire for Yuinou is a furisode. This colorful and elegant kimono brings a sense of formality.

Moreover, the furisode is a type of kimono that cannot be worn after marriage.

Whether you have a furisode from your coming-of-age ceremony or not, it is common to choose one as a final opportunity before marriage.
