Materials

They are old kimonos produced between 1880s to 1930s.
Their origin is various. Some of them made by hemp were used as farm clothes in Tohoku, the northern part of Japan, and also they were put on by male citizen in cities.
The cotton kimonos were mainly worn in the western part of Japan as the everyday clothes. The silk ones, on the other hand, were seen all over the country.

Although people used kimonos in their daily life, they were very precious for the ordinary people. Therefore, they inherited them generation to generation.

We deeply respect the history of kimonos and give them a new life as stoles.
