She painted her own Japanese kimono...
We recently received a really cool email and several photos from a customer of ours, and we wanted to share it with you all. "Good Morning, Ohio Kimono! Thank you so much for the wonderful garments and accessories you sent to me recently. I made a kimono for a runway show, and the orange juban, the navy geta and the white tabi socks set it off perfectly. My kimono was designed for a show that featured garments made with recycled materials. I made mine with my old paint pants,

Spider Queen Kitsuke
Every once in a while you see a Japanese kimono coordination and just are left in awe. Today one of our customers shared this amazing photo set of one of their kimono coordination that really pushes the limits of what we think of when we think of kitsuke and Japanese kimono. The inspiration is a 'spider queen' and the results are simply amazing and perfect for this time of year. The makeup, kitsuke, photos were all done by Devin Dondero. #spiderqueenkitsuke #kitsuke #japanese

Halloween Kitsuke
Oct 1st is here, let the final countdown to Halloween begin! We absolutely love Halloween, and look forward to the holiday every year. That being said, Japan does not normally observe Halloween and so it is fairly rare to find halloween themed wafuku. There are exceptions of course....

The 'Lisa Frank' Kimono
Many women who grew up in the 80's and 90's are familiar with the brand known as Lisa Frank. Known for their excessively bright colors and kawaii themes the Lisa Frank line of stationery was over the top cute. I will be the first to admit that I owned a lot of it, and found any excuse possible to plaster their stickers all over anything.
Today a friend brought to my attention this kimono, which can only be described as Lisa Frank inspired. Talk about an intense design on a

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
