Homongi (Visiting Kimono) - Semi-formal -
This is a formal kimono that can be worn for semi-formal occasions.
Mainly for weddings, receptions, parties, matchmaking, entrance and graduation ceremonies,
It can be used for various occasions such as shrine visits and Shichi-Go-San ceremonies.
In the past, the person wearing the kimono was often the main character,
On such occasions, luxurious and formal kimonos and obi were highly valued.
However, nowadays many people are not the main players,
Rather, they are worn more as a sign of respect for the occasion or when accompanying family members, and simple semi-formal kimonos are becoming more popular.
