A Fukuro Obi is a lighter form of obi, a traditional Japanese belt worn with a kimono. It is typically used on formal occasions. Only a portion of the Fukuro Obi is fully embroidered, making it less heavy and easier to wear than the Maru Obi, the most formal obi. The Fukuro Obi is known for its delicate and varied designs, often adorned with patterns of sophisticated embroidery.

Care tips

Dry cleaning

Brocades, for example, are delicate and intricate fabrics that require special care when cleaning. It is recommended, if you can, to have them professionally dry cleaned to avoid damage to the fragile woven threads. This is the best way to clean these fabrics.

Shipping, Returns, and Taxes

Europe (European Union)

We have integrated the IOSS system (Import One-Stop Shop) to simplify your European orders:

Orders ≤ €150 (excluding shipping) : VAT is collected at checkout via IOSS: no VAT to pay on arrival. Since the EU customs reform of 1 July 2026, a flat customs duty of €3 per product category applies to low-value parcels: it is collected by the carrier upon delivery, together with its handling fee. These charges are set by the carrier and are not paid to us.

Orders > 150€: Thanks to the EU–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, our products made in Japan benefit from total exemption from customs duties. Only VAT and carrier handling fees apply at delivery.

Canada

For Canada, the customs exemption threshold is set at 20 CAD. Thanks to the free trade agreement between Canada and Japan, our Japanese products are generally exempt from customs duties even if the value exceeds this threshold. However, once the order exceeds 20 CAD, GST/HST is applied to the entire declared value, even though customs duties often remain nil for these products.

Australia

Although the exemption threshold is 1,000 AUD, it is important to note that GST (Goods and Services Tax, equivalent to 10%) applies to all imports from Japan, regardless of the declared value.

For orders exceeding 1,000 AUD, in addition to GST, customs duties (generally around 5% depending on the type of product) may be applied during clearance.

United Kingdom (UK)

In the United Kingdom, the customs exemption threshold is set at 135 GBP. However, thanks to the UK‑Japan CEPA, most customs duties on our products made in Japan are waived.

Thus, even for orders exceeding 135 GBP, our Japanese products are not subject to customs duties. However, VAT (generally 20%) and carrier fees are still applicable upon importation.

Preparation time

We ship your parcels worldwide from Japan. If you do not see your country listed when entering your delivery address, please feel free to contact us so we can work together to find the best option.

Your order is prepared within 2 business days following the receipt of your payment and handed over to the carrier you selected at the time of purchase. You will receive a shipping confirmation email to track your parcel. We offer several delivery options to meet your needs.

Return Policy – Kimonos & Accessories

If your order has not yet been shipped, we can cancel it and issue a full refund.

For kimonos, returns are only accepted if the product received does not match the one ordered. Returns for reasons such as a sizing issue, a color difference compared to the photos, or simply a change of mind will not be considered. We encourage you to carefully read the product description, where all the features are detailed.

Although we carefully inspect each kimono, it may show slight imperfections due to its nature as a pre-owned product, but it will not have any tears. Any notable imperfections are mentioned in the product listing. If no defect is indicated, it means that any imperfection is minimal and does not detract from the quality of the product.
