Types of Kimonos - Houmongi

When a Japanese woman marries, her parents will give her another set of kimono to signify her womanhood has transcended into a married life. The Houmongi takes over the role of the Furisode in this instance. Therefore, the houmongi is the married woman’s kimono. You will see the difference in the humbleness of the design - it less bold in colors and yet regal and elegant.

Usually, this kimono is worn to tea ceremonies and weddings.

Here are some pictures of the Houmongi Kimono.
