Homongi Kimono with gold leaf decoration

Tomesode, modern kimono for married women.
Tomesode is the most formal kimono for married women. Its sleeves are much shorter than those of furisode and it has 5 family crests. (BTW, the number of family crests shows the extent of formality. For example, kimono with 3 family crests is less formal than that with 5.)
