HOUMONGI

Houmongi

When a Japanese woman marries, many parents buy their daughters another kimono, the houmongi. The houmongi takes over the role the furisode played in the life when she was single. The houmongi is the married woman's formal kimono. This would be worn when attending Japanese weddings or tea ceremonies. An example of a houmongi can be seen on the left.

Next kimono is the tomesode.
