"Checkered Diamonds" Furisode Kimono
Bold diamond checkerboard background in deep orange and cream.
Smaller elements - florals, pine, and bamboo - appear within some of the diamonds.
Look closely - some of the small flowers are embroidered!
This is a traditional furisode kimono created for a young, unmarried woman. Note the long sleeves (furi = long, sode = sleeves) sometimes called "butterfly sleeves", which flow with grace when she gestures, attracting male attention!
See video below for a non-professional way to put on the furisode and another on how to fold one properly.
