Traditional Japanese kimono are more formal than yukata but can still be worn for both casual and formal occasions. Traditional kimono have gorgeous designs and coloring and can be worn or used for ornamental decoration. The Japanese kimono is considered ‘wearable art’ since many artisans' techniques are used on one kimono. These traditional techniques and designs are breathtakingly beautiful - it is hard to find words to describe them. We buy most of our Japanese kimono from kimono auctions where only a limited number of professional kimono buyers can participate, and no two kimono are the same. We hope you enjoy wearing your kimono and appreciate the detail and uniqueness of each design.
