Furisode Kimono

A woman wearing a traditional Japanese furisode kimono and holding a parasol.
Woman Wearing Traditional Kimono with Parasol: The woman in the image is wearing a traditional Japanese kimono called a furisode, which is typically worn by young women on special occasions such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies. The furisode has long sleeves that are at least 90 cm (35 inches) in length, making it one of the most formal types of kimonos. The woman's hair is styled in an updo with a few loose strands framing her face, which is common for traditional Japanese hairstyles. She is also holding a parasol or umbrella in her right hand, which was a popular accessory among women in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The background of the image appears to be a modern setting, possibly a studio or a photo shoot location, with neutral colors and minimal decor.
