Let’s take it apart, beginning with the clothes. The dress itself is sleeveless and has a cut out design in the neckline, beaded all the way through to create a shining effect. The part that truly makes it stand out are the borders of cowries and coral beads, it’s the authentic look of the Edo era.

Coral beads are more than just adornments. They are symbolic of prosperity and richness, cascading beautifully to complete the entire attire. These are the components which turn a good look into an enchanting one.
