Blue Ume Furisode Kimono Shorts (S)
These shorts are made from a vintage Furisodé Kimono. Furisodé Kimono are the most decadent type of Kimono worn by unmarried women on formal occasions. The Kanji for Furisodé #振袖 literally translates to shake/ swing and sleeves. Furisodé Kimonos are often brightly colored with gold accents, and the long sleeves swing round and round as the woman walks, a clear advertisement that she is available for marriage.
Umé 梅 means plum. Japan often celebrates the blooming of plum blossoms with plum festivals (Umé matsuri) that take place all over the country. The Umé is considered protection against evil, and plum trees are planted in the northeastern edge of gardens because evil is thought to come from that direction.
These shorts feature two side pockets and paperbag elastic waist with drawstring. If you would like the elastic adjusted (free of charge), simply send an email with your waist measurement after purchase.
