Description:
This is a fabulous furisode in rinzu silk, the design is dynamic, in maroon and white, with water as the theme. Delicate lacquer boxes are yuzen dyed and highlighted with gold and silver couching. The inner lower hem is also rinzu silk (a sign of quality) with bokashi (dip dyed edges) and the upper lining is white smooth silk. What an interior design statement!
