How is a Furisode different from other Kimonos?

The history of Furisode
A Furisode is a style of kimono usually worn by young Japanese women and often associated with formal events such as weddings, coming-of-age festivals, religious festivals and other important events in Japanese culture.

The difference between a furisode and other kimonos is the long swinging sleeves, short sleeve kimonos are called Tomesode. There are different types of furisode kimonos which are distinguished by the length of the sleeves: Ofurisode - about 114 cm, Chufurisode - about 100 - 95 cm, kofurisode - about 85 cm.

This kimono was popular with both men and women and the designs and colour patterns were the same in both men's and women's versions of the kimono.


In recent years, it is now considered a women's kimono worn by single women for special events, while married Japanese women wear a tomesode kimono for formal occasions.

The furisode, although not necessarily known by its name, is the most famous kimono outside of Japan, recognized from all the images of Maiko standing with their long swinging sleeves.
