In Japan, it is said that less than 5% of people can wear kimono now days. Because it is difficult to wear a kimono by yourself.
The problem with vintage kimonos is that Japanese people in the past were small, so the size of kimonos is small.
Usually, when wearing a kimono, the part called "Ohashiyori" is folded. By making kimono into two pieces, the folding part has been eliminated and improved so that even tall people can wear vintage kimonos.
Kimonos are generally handmade and made of silk, so they are expensive and cannot be purchased affordably. Some of our kimonos are gorgeous and have fine detail which normally cost like thousands of dollars. But with the use of vintage, they are affordable for everyone.
Our extra cost for kimono is very easy to distinguish. If you decide to go with no extra charge, you can choose a basic kimono.
Why do you make your own kimono?
By making the kimono into a two-part style, ANYONE can easily wear a kimono.

Great Time

5.00Beautiful experience. The Kimonos were lovely. I enjoyed asking several questions about Kimonos and the history. The ladies were friendly and kind. The only advice I would add is to possibly have a small section where a history / information about the tradition and wearing of Kimonos is told ( i like to learn), but I asked enough questions. Nonetheless, I would still highly recommend !! There are several Kimonos that are included in the price, however, I wanted a more fancy one so I purchased one of the more elaborate ones. The prices for the ones not included were not unreasonable. Great experience and I would go back.
Lovely experience

5.00Very authentic experience. Is in someone’s beautiful home. I initially got lost but they helped me to find it. Good price and they will take pictures for you. You can also pay extra for a nicer fabric or to buy the add ons. They were also all very helpful with assisting in the making of it when I got stuck.
Must do

5.00I am so glad I did this. First of all, I walked most of the way from Chiyoda City to this, and being able to spend some time in a residential area was so much more interesting than staying only in the more touristy areas (though those are fun too!). The experience itself was not as challenging as I was sure it would be going in. It involved hemming the waist of a kimono. As long as you can cut, fold and iron, you should be fine. And if you can't do those things, the staff there are prepared to help! They have a ton of options in terms of colors and textures, going through the different fabrics was an experience in and of itself. In short, if you think this is something you'd enjoy, you will.
