Types of Kimonos: Tomesode
Tomesode is a formal Japanese kimono that married women wear to weddings of their relatives.. Now it’s different from a Houmongi because although Houmongi is a formal kimono for married women, it’s for the general as Tomesode is for a much specific kind married women in a wedding of their relative.
The Tomesode will not be worn at a friend’s wedding. That would be weird.
The black fabric of the Tomesode is made in the purpose to contrast the wedding kimono which is white in color. And the colorful obi worn with the Tomesode signifies a happy occassion.
Here are some pictures of Tomesode with different Obis:-
