About kimono:　Kimonos are not worn very often nowadays, most people only wear them on special occasions, which is seldom in modern Japan. Unfortunately, many nice kimonos are left in the wardrobe without a chance to be worn, seen nor appreciated. We are looking for good ways to make use of them and let the public to know how valueable they are. We get kimonos from vendors, at the same time, we are trying to get kimonos from the elder generation of our friends and acquaintances, not only these kimonos are in good quality, they also tell stories and history of earlier Japan culture.

Note: Kimono patterns vary depending on how we obtain such kimonos. As a result, please understand in advance that the pattern might be different from the picture shown on the website. The same pattern of kimono would only have limited amount.
