In recent years, "mama furisode" has been gaining attention.
This is a style in which a daughter inherits and wears the furisode that her mother wore at her Coming of Age Ceremony.
Not only is it less expensive than buying or renting a new furisode, but it also has the added benefit of being able to wear a special kimono filled with family memories.
However, since there are differences in design and color between furisode from about 30 years ago and modern furisode, you will need to be creative when choosing accessories.
Hair accessories in particular can be made to look elegant without appearing outdated by adding contemporary touches.

The difference between furisode from 30 years ago and today
Furisode from about 30 years ago are characterized by their "subdued colors" compared to modern ones.
-
Color: There are many deep colors such as red, black, and green, and not many pink or pastel colors.
-
Pattern: Classical patterns are the norm, and traditional motifs such as large floral patterns and cranes are often used.
-
Fabric: Many of them have a firm silk texture.
On the other hand, modern furisode are increasingly available in pale colors and gradient colors, and Western-style designs are being incorporated into the patterns.

How to choose hair accessories to match your mom's furisode
The key to making your mother's furisode look beautiful is to combine it with hair accessories well.
1. Pick up the color of the kimono pattern to create a sense of unity
Incorporating one of the colors used in the kimono pattern into your hair accessories will create a sense of unity and a sophisticated impression.
For example, if your furisode has red in it, you can add red flowers, and if it has gold embroidery, you can add gold accents to create a balanced look.
2. Elegant design with a retro feel
If you want to make the most of the classical atmosphere of a mother's furisode, we recommend large tsumami-zaiku flowers or wisteria hangings.
By arranging traditional designs in a modern style, you can create a sophisticated and elegant look.
3. Customize your hair freely with hair accessories that you can choose one by one
At Ichirindo, we have a wide selection of finished flower rings, so you can create your own hair ornaments in any combination you like.
