I think people would understand more if they wore them aswell, I don't think I could hang mine on the wall as I like wearing it too much :-)

From around 40 000 yen to 70 000 yen for a brand new Furisode, not counting Obi and accessories. That's 4000 to 7000 dollars, roughly. The more expensive ones are made of silk brocade with weaved patterns and decorated with embroideries sewn by hand. Furisode are not mass-produced in big factories but are made by skilled craftsmen/women. It can take over a month to make one Furisode.

It's a matter of pride and prestige for girls to own a Furisode. If daddy isn't rich enough to buy her a new one, he can always buy a second-hand. They usually half the price and up. They usually have tears, stains, pinholes and other blemishes. You can get some on Ebay.
