Ivory FURISODE with Antique Kicho Screens & Flowers
This brilliant furisode is a wonderful piece - it looks beautiful and displays a bit of Japanese history!
Sprinkled throughout the creamy white surface, kicho screens from the Heian period (794-1185) are displayed. Used to separate rooms, they appear as decorative fabrics in colorful shades and patterns. Stunning chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms bloom along a flowing green, accenting the swirling tassels from the kicho screens. Notice the luminous gold highlights.
This beautiful furisode is covered in design, a great piece for wear or display!
