(IRO)UCHIKAKE
Women's colorful bridal robe with trailing skirts worn over a kimono.
People began to wear the uchikake in the Muromachi period (1336~1573).
The Uchikake is tailored one size longer in height than the kimono worn inside it, and it has a thick part called "fuki"
along the hem which is heavily padded with wadding.
"Fuki" is found in a kimono in which one does not make ohashori(tucking up a kimono and holding the tuck in place with a cord ) and tails the hem on the floor. Its purpose is to prevent the clothing hem from tangling to the feet by making a thick part around the hem.
