Hello everyone, and welcome to the world of KIMONO SK! Today, we are excited to share a special story with you all. It’s about how our representative, Oshimoto Sueko, played a pivotal role as a kimono specialist in the large-scale Disney project "SHOGUN". Oshimoto Sueko has honed her expertise and skills in kimonos, the traditional Japanese attire, over many years. Her extensive experience was recognized, and she was specially invited by the production team of "SHOGUN" to utilize her skills. In this project, she was responsible for selecting kimonos, dressing, and adjusting costumes for each scene, contributing tirelessly to enhance the realism and aesthetic quality of the production. "SHOGUN" aims to accurately portray not only the beauty of Japan but also the complex culture and lifestyle of the samurai era to a global audience. Oshimoto Sueko’s specialized knowledge and passion significantly deepened the authenticity of this epic narrative. Even a single kimono requires meticulous planning and attention to detail, from selecting materials to the placement of colors and patterns. Oshimoto Sueko plays a crucial role in expressing the backgrounds and personalities of the characters through these elements. The kimonos, transformed under her guidance, are not merely costumes but essential tools that tell the stories of the characters. We at KIMONO SK are immensely proud to have such a talented specialist like Oshimoto Sueko on our team. Through her work, we sincerely hope that the traditional culture of Japan is correctly understood and cherished by people around the world. We extend our gratitude to everyone involved in the production of "SHOGUN" and look forward to more of Osuemoto Sueko’s achievements. Please stay tuned for more updates on her incredible work!
