{"title":"Hikizuri Kimono – Japanese Trailing Hem Kimono for Geisha \u0026 Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most dramatic and visually spectacular forms of Japanese traditional dress — our \u003cstrong\u003ehikizuri kimono\u003c\/strong\u003e collection celebrates the extraordinary beauty of the trailing-hem kimono worn by geisha, maiko, and performers on the Japanese stage. The word \u003cem\u003ehikizuri\u003c\/em\u003e (引捯) literally means “trailing” or “dragging” — referring to the distinctive extra-long hem of this special kimono style, which is left to trail gracefully along the floor as the wearer moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hikizuri kimono is worn exclusively by geisha (\u003cem\u003egeiko\u003c\/em\u003e), apprentice geisha (\u003cem\u003emaiko\u003c\/em\u003e), and performers in traditional Japanese arts including \u003cem\u003enihon buyo\u003c\/em\u003e (classical Japanese dance) and \u003cem\u003ekabuki\u003c\/em\u003e theatre. Unlike everyday kimono, the hikizuri is worn without the \u003cem\u003eohashori\u003c\/em\u003e (the fold at the waist used to adjust the length of a regular kimono) — instead, the extra length is allowed to trail behind the wearer, creating the most dramatic and visually magnificent silhouette in all of Japanese dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic hikizuri trailing-hem kimono in silk \u0026amp; premium fabrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeisha \u0026amp; maiko inspired hikizuri in classic Kyoto colour palettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage \u0026amp; performance hikizuri for nihon buyo \u0026amp; kabuki-inspired styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElaborate embroidered \u0026amp; painted hikizuri in traditional Japanese motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridal hikizuri-inspired kimono for dramatic wedding photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom made-to-measure hikizuri available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWear the most dramatic silhouette in Japanese tradition — explore our hikizuri kimono collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/yandanhanfu.com\/collections\/hikizuri-kimono.oembed","provider":"Yandan_Hanfu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
