KIMONO

The kimono is a traditional Japanese garment still worn on special occasions. There is a wide range of styles, from luxurious kimonos made with fine silk by skilled artisans to casual ones suitable for everyday wear. Wearing a kimono beautifully requires technique, and there are even schools dedicated to teaching it. We collaborate with kimono specialists to offer opportunities for people to enjoy and experience the kimono.

A yukata is a type of summer kimono, made from lightweight fabric suitable for hot and humid weather. Unlike traditional kimonos, yukatas are easier to put on by yourself, making them perfect for casual wear and summer events. That’s why we mainly offer yukata try-on experiences at festivals and special occasions.

Hakama are traditional pleated trousers often worn over a kimono. They are commonly used in martial arts such as kendo and archery, as well as in Noh theater, and by Shinto priests and sumo referees. Traditionally worn by men, hakama have recently gained popularity among women, especially as formal attire for school graduation ceremonies.

Children’s kimonos are traditionally worn for special ceremonies celebrating the ages of 3, 5, and 7. It is customary to visit a shrine in November to give thanks for the children’s healthy growth. Today, it has also become popular to take commemorative photos in kimono to mark the occasion.
