Reviving kimonos steeped in rich history, we aim to transcend mere fashion and contribute to a sustainable
future.
Based on the spirit of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), we revive each piece into a garment that can be
cherished for a long time, respecting craftsmanship and tradition while presenting its beauty in a new form.
This choice reflects a lifestyle that values the preservation of goods, going beyond simple consumption.
By combining sustainability with luxury, we provide a meaningful option for future generations.
Once considered difficult to wear, the kimono has been reimagined with modern technology, making it possible for anyone to put one on in just five minutes. While preserving its beautiful appearance and traditional texture, we have significantly reduced the effort required, allowing more people to easily experience the elegance of the kimono.
This initiative is based on the principles of the SDGs, aiming to create a sustainable society. By breathing new life into valuable kimonos that have long remained unused and connecting them to the future as garments that can be cherished for years, we are rethinking approaches to consumption and production, passing down Japan’s beauty and values to the next generation.
Traditional zori sandals, often crafted smaller, can be difficult to walk in for those unaccustomed to
them.
We’ve developed a spacious, square-shaped zori sandal that pairs perfectly with kimono outfits.
Designed with a comfortable fit and stable balance, it’s easy on the feet even after prolonged wear.
Available in various sizes, including larger options up to 33 cm (approximately 13 inches),
these sandals maintain tradition while adapting to modern lifestyles.
Even beginners can easily wear an authentic kimono.
Presenting truly exquisite kimonos adorned with Japan's finest traditional weaves and the elegance of premium silk. Each piece is crafted with respect for the natural luster of silk and the delicate artistry of skilled craftsmen, making this a timeless collection cherished across generations.
Kimonos are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, each one a unique masterpiece, with no two exactly alike. The distinct weaves and dyes of each piece are a testament to supreme artistry.
Even the subtle colors and stains left on the fabric can be appreciated as a reflection of its history, evoking the joy of ownership and the privilege of possessing something rich in character and tradition.
While preserving the traditional beauty of kimonos, we've made them easy to wear. Whether for daily wear or special occasions, these kimonos let you enjoy the elegance of Japanese artistry with comfort and ease.
We are committed to adding new value to Japan's traditions and
sharing them
with the world and the future.
By reimagining kimonos for modern life,
we propose a sustainable style that will
be passed down to future generations.
Let’s create a sustainable future together.
