Question:
How much would a furisode set be? if I buy one?
Would it be cheaper to borrow than buy?
Also does anyone know how much it is to go to a salon and get dressed up and let them do your hair?
Thanks!
I'll be going next year ^^ so, it'll be nice if people have any experience about it!
Answer:
If you get second-hand (or you're super lucky and find a sale, like I did when I bought my full set), you can buy the furisode, fukuro or maru obi, juban, obi jime, and obi age for $1000 or less. Adding other accessories (some of which will be required, like zori and tabi) will of course raise that price. A brand-new furisode alone can cost as little as $1000 or well over $20,000 and every price in between. The most expensive furisode I have had the pleasure of seeing in person so far cost 2.5 million yen, but I'm sure more expensive ones exist. A nice obi can go for hundreds at least. Depending on whether or not you're willing to buy second hand, it is most likely cheaper to rent than to buy.
