Disney Yukata Ads From Japan
We recently acquired some very interesting advertising material from Japan. After reviewing the material we decided to do a mini blog series dedicated to kimono advertisements in Japan.The material in question features advertisements for yukata, but not any common kind of yukata; official Disney yukata! The first part of this series is a full color glossy advertisement for Disney yukata by Susunoya from 2005. Yukata are a type of very informal kimono worn in casual social set

Did you know that Walt Disney has a limited official line of yukata and even furisode that they occasionally produce for a short period of time?

These are NOT sold in the USA at Epcot.

Check Out The Kimono Kitsune Photo Shoot!
A long time customer of ours really upped her kitsuke game with a single simply addition to her wardrobe: a kitsune mask. We were fortune enough to see this coordination first hand at Matsuricon 2017 this year, and had to wait a few months for her to coordinate a photoshoot. It is amazing how the addition of just a single mask can cause such an interesting change. The Japanese kimono and other elements of this outfit were purchased from our online kimono store.
