TOMESODE KIMONO

The tomesode is a formal Japanese kimono. A married woman would normally wear a tomesode to a Japanese wedding ceremony of a close relative. It would not be worn to a friend's wedding or any other ceremonies. The houmongi is used for these occasions.

A picture of two sisters. On the left wearing a tomesode kimono at her sister's wedding (right) wearing a Uchikake - the wedding kimono.

The black background of the tomesode is clearly designed to contrast with the white of the uchikake. The colorful obi and lower half of the tomesode shows that it is being worn on a happy occasion.

The next kimono is the Mofuku
