Tsukesage (attached kimono)

 

Tsukesage is a kimono with a single pattern on the left shoulder, and is the second highest rank after Homongi.

Wearing a Fukuro Obi will raise your status, while wearing a Nagoya Obi or a Stylish Fukuro Obi will lower your status.

Specifically, if you tie a fukuro obi, you can wear it to your child's graduation ceremony or Shichi-Go-San.

If you wear a Nagoya obi or a stylish fukuro obi, you can wear it to dinner parties or the theater.

It is often mistaken for a formal kimono, but unlike a formal kimono, the pattern on the tsukesage is separate and stands out as a unique accent.

However, unless you are in a formal setting, I think it's fine to not worry about it as long as it's not rude to the other person.

Well, see you next time.
