- The long 'swinging sleeves' (furisode) of this kimono indicate that it would have been worn by a young woman. Red was a popular choice for young women’s kimono because the colour symbolised youth and glamour. The dye, known as beni, was produced from safflowers and was very expensive. The whole garment is decorated using a tie-dyeing technique known as shibori, which was also very costly. The woman who wore this kimono must have come from a very wealthy family. The auspicious design of pine, bamboo and plum on the hem and sleeve ends suggests she wore it for a special occasion. The garment has been shortened at the waist, indicating that it was designed, or later adapted, to be an under-kimono. (en)
- Kimono for a young woman (<i>furisode)</i>of figured satin silk (<i>rinzu</i>). The <i>rinzu</i> has a self-pattern of small diapers and flowers. An overall pattern of hemp leaf with roundels of pine, bamboo and plum has been created using the kanoko shibori (tie-dye) technique. The red dye derives from beni-bana (safflower). The garment has been shortened at the waist for wearing as an under-kimono. It is lined with scarlet crêpe and it has a small wadded hem. (en)
- Red kimono with tie-dyed hemp-leaf designs were associated with courtesans. However, this one may have been worn by a young woman from a merchant family. Perhaps she wanted to emulate the fashions of the pleasure district. At some point the garment has been shortened at the waist. This may have been in response to sumptuary laws that restricted the use of the expensive dye and patterning technique.

Kimono for a young woman (furisode)
1800-40
The long ‘swinging sleeves’ (furisode) of this kimono indicate that it was worn by a young woman. She was probably the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Red, symbolising youth and glamour, was an expensive dye, while the tie-dyeing (shibori) technique used to create the pattern was highly labour-intensive. This would have been a very extravagant garment. [56]
