Thank you for viewing. This is a gold and silver suehiro (folding fan) used by the mothers of the bride and groom, or the matchmakers, at a wedding. Suehiro, as the name suggests, means "expanding prosperity," and is an auspicious item with the wish that prosperity and happiness will last forever. Gold suehiro is generally held by the groom's mother, and silver suehiro by the bride's mother. They are used by inserting them into the upper part of the obi, matching the black formal kimono. Also, the matchmaker couple often hold gold for the man and silver for the woman. This suehiro is not for fanning, but as a decorative fan to enhance formal attire by inserting it into the obi. The understated shine of gold and silver elevates the formality of the formal wear, creating an elegant appearance befitting the ceremony. This suehiro is in accordance with tradition and is suitable for wedding ceremonies. #koudo #香堂 #こうどう japanese kimono jewelry accessories for Japanese clothing accessories folding fan suehiro gold suehiro silver suehiro wedding ceremony formal wear black formal kimono formal kimono visiting kimono accessories for Japanese clothing Japanese clothing and accessories Japanese modern Japanese tradition craftsmanship #kimono #kimono #kimono #Japanese clothing #Japanese clothing etiquette #Japanese formal wear #mother's attire #groom's mother #bride's mother #matchmaker #expanding prosperity #lucky charm #wedding accessories #traditional beauty
