This listing is for a traditional vintage furisode kimono originally created for a young, unmarried woman. This furisode is unlike the more elaborately designs ones - the color alone carries the message. The silk jacquard features a tone on tone design of cranes and cresting waves in a bright, rich, shade of pink. Furisode are worn for formal events, such as Seijin-no-hi (Coming of Age Day, sometimes translated as Adults Day) in early January.  Furisode are also worn for weddings, recitals, receptions, and other celebrations calling for formal attire. Note the long sleeves (furi = long, sode = sleeves) sometimes called "butterfly sleeves", which flow with grace when she gestures, attracting male attention!
