- Type: A furisode kimono. Furisode means swinging sleeves. They have extra deep sleeves and are wor by young, unmarried women on special occasions. Once married or over about 30 years old, they stop wearing them. Furisodes cost thousands of pounds, £6,000 to £10,000 is not unusual and some cost way more. Even synthetic fabric ones cost a fortune. They are usually hired nowadays as they are too expensive to own just for special occasions but even hiring one is incredibly expensive
