Furisode

Furisode in Tokyo on Coming of Age Day, January 14, 2008. The furisode is the most formal kimono for an unmarried woman, and its long swinging sleeves are the giveaway; the longest-sleeved kind, the ofurisode, is the most formal of all. Coming of Age Day, held on the second Monday of January, is the day many young women wear one, and this group has added white fur stoles against the winter cold.
