Sneak Peek: NEW Bag Design
We are committed to being a green business. One of the things we have done is ditch plastic bags, and offer our customers a nice reusable shopping bag while shopping with us at shows.

Our friend over at Neko Creations is creating the exclusive koi art that will appear on our shopping bags!

Change To Our Shipping Policy
As our online kimono store has grown and we take on more shows to sell at, we are struggling to find a rhythm for shipping our online kimono orders. When our online kimono store was much smaller, many purchases shipped same day from our warehouse. However our business has since grown to a point that we can no longer operate in this manner. All too often we were unable to ship on a Monday, Saturday, or Friday due to being at shows. For us shipping was increasingly becoming ch

Hidden Treasures From The Past
We recently got in a section of stunning Taisho era michiyuki. These silk coats pre-date ww2 in most cases, and are almost all hand sewn. Taisho era wafuku is especially prized for the quality of the fabric, and the longer sleeve lengths. Imagine our surprise, when we checked one of the pockets of a coat only to discover money! Over the years we have checked the pockets of many michiyuki and continue to be surprised at the discoveries we make.
Inside this coat was a 50 sen

Innovative Obi Styles
We love to teach people who to wear kimono in a manner that is traditional and respectful of Japanese culture. One of the things we love to share with our customers and students is a 'secret'. This 'secret' is that they are allowed and encourage to create their own obi knots and styles. Kimono and obi are fashion, and fashion is fluid and about expressing yourself.
Instragram has a large Japanese community who love kimono and frequently post about them. One of our personal
