Thank you very much for your interest. Before completing your purchase, please review the details below. This extraordinary Japanese hikifurisode represents the pinnacle of formal kimono artistry, traditionally worn for wedding ceremonies and by geisha and maiko during the most prestigious performances. Crafted from luxurious pure silk, this long trailing kimono embodies grace, ceremony, and timeless cultural significance. The design is centered around the phoenix, one of the most revered symbols in East Asian art, representing rebirth, harmony, prosperity, and imperial elegance. The phoenix is delicately rendered through refined komab刺繍, complemented by flowing floral motifs that symbolize seasonal beauty and eternal renewal. Together, they form a composition that is both powerful and poetic. Unlike standard furisode, a hikifurisode is intentionally made longer so it can trail gracefully along the floor, creating a dramatic and dignified silhouette. This characteristic length enhances its presence, making it particularly striking for ceremonial wear, stage performance, or as a statement piece for collectors and exhibitions. The silk surface reveals depth and softness with every fold, while the embroidery demonstrates a level of craftsmanship associated with high-ranking ateliers. The overall balance between opulence and restraint reflects the refined aesthetic valued in traditional Japanese formal wear. Material: Pure silk Condition: Very good overall condition. There is light discoloration along the collar fold as shown in close-up images; otherwise, no noticeable stains or damage are present. The kimono has been carefully preserved and remains an exceptional example of its type.
