Description
Coloured sketch commission for Kiono of their anthro alolan ninetales character Xavier!He’s showing off his new kimono to someone.
I didn’t realise that I needed to draw a kitsune in a kimono until I drew this, but this was so fun to draw, and I love how he came out.

Is this character supposed to be a male? Because he/she is wearing what seems to be a Tsukesage , an outfit that was designed specifically for women. Historically speaking, a woman wearing a Tsukesage signified to others that she was married, although this custom has fallen out of use since the Meiji Restoration. Unmarried women were known to wear a Furisode . A Women's Kimono was usually characterized by a large Koshihimo (waist band), while a Men's Kimono usually had a thin Koshihimo if any at all.
Whether these design choices were intended or not, it's still a beautiful art piece. I definitely don't mean to sound like a slanderer, and I hope you at the very least found this interesting.

Yes, they're supposed to be male, and yes they're supposed to be wearing a female kimono. 
Thank you for taking the time to explain the different types though, I'm always interested in learning new things and I didn't know about the Furisode. I always try to draw things as accurate and sympathetic as possible when it comes to other cultures.
