Yesterday I learned a new word.
きくずれ kikuzure
きくずれ(n) worn out of shape
It was while I was making inquiries about kimono bra’s. The lady said it is good to reduce “kikuzure-kimono becoming loose and untidy” Being curious I put it in google and found this site:
Main site furisode.jp
Study furisode.
Kikuzure page
There are many gorgeous furisode to look at and drool over but the best part are all the (short) videos. It takes some time to watch them all and there are not really any new things for people who have a lot of kitsuke books, but still, seeing the pictures move is really fun and helpful.
