Furisode with Cherry Patterns

 I took some photos around home after a dance video shooting. 










Tsukesage and Shamisen

 I am going to perform Shamisen this Summer's events. 



New Hikizuri Furisode Kimono

This kimono is called Hikizuri Furisode, which has long sleeves and longer than usual length (mine has two meters long)  and  the kimono is very heavy. Hikizuri style kimono like this one usually worn by Kabuki dancers, Geisha as well as a wedding ceremony for bride. Hikizuri Furisode is also called Uchikake Robe.   I purchased this kimono for my stage performance.
