[About the Fabric]We use vibrant kimono and obi that were used for special occasions in the Showa era. Some of these materials and weaves are rare and no longer in production.The patterns include auspicious flowers, birds, gold thread work, embroidery, and Nishijin-ori (Nishijin weaving), all made from rare textiles collected from across the country.Due to the high quality of the raw materials, this was only possible through remaking used items.
[About the Sewing]The sewing is done in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan's largest bag production area.It is produced by skilled bag artisans from a company that sells materials necessary for bags and has its own YKK zipper factory.The placement of patterns, orientation, and the front/back of the obi-jime (sash cord) used as the handle are determined in Tokyo. Then, a mold is created at a factory that produces molds for the sewing factory. The fabric is cut using this mold, and then sewn.Kimono and obi have unique embroidery and weaves, and vary in thickness and texture, making them very labor-intensive and difficult to sew even for experienced artisans.In Toyooka, the tradition of willow basketry, mentioned in the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), has been passed down.The products are manufactured under strict quality control, cultivated over a thousand years of tradition that began with willow luggage.
[Points to Note Before Purchasing]Regarding the fabric: The kimono, obi, and obi-jime used are previously used or were in stock. Therefore, there may be fold creases, small stains, dirt, scratches, or deterioration. While we take care to remove these, some may occasionally remain.

Regarding size: Although the fabric is cut uniformly with molds and sewn by skilled artisans, the thickness of each kimono, obi, and obi-jime varies. For example, obi with a lot of embroidery or those that are thick may result in slightly smaller dimensions. Please understand that there may be slight variations in size.
