Drawings of Characters in Furisode - Celebrate in Style!

If there ever was an outfit that screamed, “All eyes on me, please!” it would no doubt be furisode! Furisode (振袖, lit. “swinging sleeves”) is a style of kimono characterized by its long, dramatic sleeves. They are often worn on special occasions, such as during hatsumōde, i.e., the first visit to a temple or shrine of the new year, or coming-of-age ceremonies. With their stunning patterns and colorfully accessorized obis, they’re the perfect outfit to boost your confidence and have you feeling like the star of the show!
