A few of furisode
A furisode (振袖?, lit. swinging sleeves) is a style of kimono distinguishable by its long sleeves, which range in length from 85 centimeters for a kofurisode (小振袖) to 114 centimeters for an ōfurisode (大振袖).
The furisodeis made of very fine, brightly colored silk, and is commonly rented or bought by parents for their daughters to wear when celebrating Coming of Age Day the year they turn 20. By wearing a furisode, a young woman signifies that she is both single and a legal adult, and thus available for marriage. In this sense, a furisode might be likened to the formal gowns worn by debutantes in the West.
Phenomenon of Coming of Age Day 2013 at Japan
Coming of Age Day (成人の日Seijin no Hi?) is a Japanese holiday held annually on the
second Monday of January. It is held in order to congratulate and encourage all
those who have reached the age of majority (20 years old (二十歳hatachi?)) over the past year, and to help them realize
that they have become adults. Festivities include coming of age ceremonies (成人式seijin-shiki?) held at local and prefectural offices, as
well as after-parties amongst family and friends.
Coming of Age Day
diadakan setiap tahun pada hari Isnin yng kedua pada bulan Januari. Ini diadakan sebagai penghargaan dan menggalakkan kepada mereka
yang mencapai umur majoriti (20 tahun)
pada tahun lepas serta menyedarkan mereka bahawa mereka susah dewasa.
The furisode is generally worn for formal social functions
such as the tea ceremony or wedding ceremonies of relatives. Since furisodes
can be quite expensive, many women rent them as needed rather than purchasing
them.
Historically, whenever a man wore a furisode, it was a sign
that he was the warrior's lover.
