*In the not-too-distant past furisode (振袖) indicated that a young woman was single and of marriageable age.

Interestingly it was only in the 19thC that furisode became gendered, and only in the 20thC that they (in part due to Western influence) were restricted to girls and women.

Worn by young, unmarried women* in Japan, this style of kimono was once commonly purchased by parents for a daughter's coming-of-age.

Notable for their long sleeves, furisode (振袖) often feature bright colours and bold designs.

Furisode Kimono

One of a few things that my daughter wanted to do in Japan was this 🤔

So, she achieved a goal 😊

After being dressed by a kimono stylist (our friend), she is heading for a photo shoot 🥳

"Sunrise/sunset skyline for this unusual modern furisode. I like how the scenery is made complete by why my minds reads as gulls in flight ^^"

#Inktober 10 - "Pattern"

I had a bit more spare time today, so I tried playing with some gouache colour, aiming for an old-school comic vibe. I think I mixed it a little thick, but overall I'm quite pleased with the effect.
