K010 - Shibori Furisode Kimono

Vintage Silk Wedding Kimono (Furisode): Red Shibori / Kanoko-dot Wisteria Chrysanthemum Cloud Silhouette

The formal wear for unmarried women (the highest formal wear). Black-based ones are called Kuro-furisode, others are Iro-furisode. Hon-furisode are characterized by thick hem facing (Suso-fuki) and sleeve opening facing (Sodeguchi-fuki), and a long length so the hem trails. In the case of Ō-furisode, cotton padding is inserted in the facing. The lining fabric added to hems and sleeve openings is called Suso-mawashi (Hakkake), and in Ō-furisode the same dyed fabric as the outer fabric is used, called “Tomo-hakkake.”

Kanoko shibori is what is commonly thought of in the West as tie-dye. It involves binding certain sections of the cloth using thread – traditionally a type of untwisted thread known as shike-ito – to achieve the desired pattern. The pattern achieved depends on how tightly the cloth is bound and where the cloth is bound. If random sections of the cloth are bound, the result will be a pattern of random circles. If the cloth is first folded then bound, the resulting circles will be in a pattern depending on the fold used.
