かっこいい着物ですね。 打掛は、日本の古い習慣により、結婚式当日に花嫁だけが着用を許される特別な着物です。 その美しさと希少性から、世界中に打掛のコレクターがいます。 この着物は40年以上前に作られたヴィンテージの打掛着物です。 奇跡的に、縫うこともなく新しい状態で届きました。こ

Wedding Kimono (Uchikake)

Chiba Prefecture, Japan

This is, without question, the most beautiful uchikake I've ever seen.

Uchikake have a limited wearing possibility. They are the outer layer of wedding kimono.

The hem is padded so it can be dragged through the "aisle". When outside, the uchikake is held up by a belt to protect the hem from getting dirty.

When white coloured, it is part of an all white ensemble called shiromuku.

Coloured uchikake are also common, they come mostly with a lot of red accents, although other colours exist too.
