"Have You Ever Seen a Bride in a Stunningly Elegant 'Akanmuku' Wedding Kimono, Dressed in Colors of Celebration?"

Not a Shiro Muku! Do You Know About "Aka Muku"?

If you are a bride interested in traditional Japanese wedding attire, you may have heard of or seen "Aka Muku." Do you know about this bride's kimono?

In contrast to "Shiro Muku," which means "to be dyed in the color of the place you marry into" or signifies "pure and untainted state," the red color of this wedding attire is quite flamboyant. What kind of design does it have, and what does it symbolize?

Representing the Color of Joy ♡ This is "Aka Muku"!

"Aka Muku" carries the beautiful meaning of "expressing the bride's joyous spirit and celebratory colors throughout." It is said to be an outfit dyed in the colors of celebration for the joyous day of marriage.

In other words, "Aka Muku" truly expresses the overflowing happiness of the bride! ♡

The Design is Simple but Luxurious ♡

At first glance, "Aka Muku" looks almost the same as a red uchikake, but the design is quite simple! The classic design features vibrant solid red with golden patterns embroidered on the chest, sleeves, and back. There are also adorable variants adorned with flower and crane motifs. *

Compared to flamboyant patterned uchikake, it is simpler, yet it has a luxurious feel and is very lovely! ♡

Coordinate to Your Liking ♡

Whether it’s Shiro Muku, colorful uchikake, or Aka Muku, they all require an undergarment called kasane, which is worn underneath. * Therefore, you can enjoy coordinating your Aka Muku to your liking based on the color and pattern of the kasane peeking through! The most popular Aka Muku coordination among brides is to pair it with an elegant white kasane like this. The combination of red and white is festive!

This bride has created a lovely atmosphere with a light pink kasane! This is a recommended coordination for events like receptions! It's also a good idea to enhance the cuteness and luxury with accessories, like the sword and the box for the chest. ◎

The hairstyle is also truly free! ♡ Some brides choose to match their Western hairstyles, while others do a classic Japanese hair arrangement with a wataboshi or other traditional styles. It would be nice to match the bridal hair with the scene of wearing "Aka Muku"! ♡
