Mofuku

Preserved in the archive in 2002. Historical article; travel and business details may have changed.

The Mofuku is only worn to the funeral of a close relative. This kimono is all black. Due to the sensitive nature of when this kimono is worn, we do not have any pictures of one. While the Tomesode and Mofuku kimono are not as expensive as the Furisode, they still costs around A$8,000. In Japan they have a saying, “if you have three daughters, you will be broke!” Next kimono is the Uchikake.
