The "Fluffy" Connection Between Sesshomaru and Coming-of-Age Day
Coming-of-Age Day celebrations often feature traditional furisode kimono paired with a fluffy stole or shawl for added elegance and warmth. This accessory, known for its plush and luxurious look, has long been compared by fans to Sesshomaru’s iconic fluffy shoulder piece. Many affectionately refer to it as “Sesshomaru’s fluff” or “Sesshomaru’s fur.”
This year’s post featuring Sesshomaru has once again sparked excitement among fans, with comments like:
“Sesshomaru’s fluff is trending!”
“Even the official account recognizes it—Sesshomaru and Coming-of-Age Day go hand in hand!”
“Let’s just call it Sesshomaru Day from now on!”
“When my niece, an Inuyasha fan, showed me her Coming-of-Age kimono, I accidentally blurted out, ‘You look like Sesshomaru!’ Congratulations to all new adults!”

What Is That Fluffy Accessory, Really?
According to the official website of First Stage, a company that rents furisode, the fluffy shawl is called a “stole.” It’s more than just a cute accessory—it also serves a functional purpose as a coat-like item worn over the furisode for warmth during cold January ceremonies.
