[For moms who will be wearing furisode] Early preparation guide for Coming of Age Day

Hello, I'm Yukiwa!

I think many people are in Golden Week,

This time, we'll be talking about something a little further down the line: preparing to act like a mom for your Coming of Age Ceremony .

First, check the furisode you have at home!

If you are planning to wear your mother's furisode, first try putting it on at home.

  • Are the sizes such as sleeve length and width correct?
  • Please check that the sleeves are not too short and the body width is not too tight.

If you are unsure about the size, please consult your local kimono store.
The earlier you contact us, the more time you will have to make repairs.

Next, check the condition of the furisode

If the size is fine, check the condition .

  • Are there any stains, mold or discoloration?
  • Check to see if there are any frayed edges around the sides or buttocks.

Please also consider cleaning and maintenance if necessary.

These steps also take a surprisingly long time, so it's best to act early.

The key to coordinating this outfit is the obi and accessories!

If the size and condition are fine, it's time to start coordinating them !

Furisode for mothers have a classic appeal and are often made with high quality tailoring .
The key to creating a modern look is the obi and accessories.

Tips for choosing an obi:

  • Recently, long fukuro obi are mainstream. If it is over 430cm long, it is easy to tie it in a decorative knot.
  • Even if you use an old obi, you can make it fit by tying it in a creative way.

Tips for using accessories:

  • Layered collar for a vibrant look around the face
  • The obijime that determines the overall impression
  • You can change the impression just by changing your sandals or bag to something more modern.

We plan to add new items to our shop in the future, so please check it out.

Prepare early and take your pre-wedding photos with plenty of time to spare

Once you have completed your mommy outfit, start planning your pre-wedding photo shoot .
