WHY?
Kimono, in English, means “something to wear” but the garment itself is associated with Japan, elegant and class. It can convey the wearers age, marital status and social status just a mere glance. It is a magnificent garment that has entice people worldwide with its complexity and visual appeal.
Kimono ARTISTRY involves the handiwork of many craftspeople. To weave a single bolt of kimono fabric takes a tremendous amount of time. Sometimes it progresses at a rate of just 1/3 inches per day. Kimono is produced in many styles, and incorporates various techniques to produce the cloth.
Simply, we love kimono.
