Sakura (桜), chrysanthemum (菊), peony (牡丹), and Japanese maple (紅葉) flowers bloom alongside a glittering river, creating a picturesque scene. This high-quality kimono is in very good condition, with some discreet stains on the front of the left sleeve. Being a vintage/used piece, it may show some stains or defects.

The Tomesode is a type of women’s kimono considered the most formal for married women in Japan. Typically made of silk, these kimonos are known for their elegance and sophistication, often displaying complex and meaningful motifs. They are usually worn during grand occasions or ceremonies, such as weddings or significant events.

The Tomesode is distinguished by motifs that generally do not extend above the lower part of the garment, adding to its sophisticated and elegant allure. When worn, it is generally accompanied by luxurious accessories, thus contributing to create a look that is both majestic and subtle.

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

flag icon

United States

Shipments from Japan of our Japanese products benefit from an 800 USD customs exemption. If the declared order value does not exceed this threshold, no customs duty or import tax is applied.

Beyond 800 USD, only the amount exceeding this limit may be subject to the standard U.S. customs duty rates. In practice, the majority of typical orders remain exempt from additional fees.

flag icon

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 directly during your order. No customs duty, no carrier handling fees, no surprises at delivery.

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.

The undertone metallic of this fabric is definitely more gold than silver. Not quite what I needed for my project but still very beautiful! I'm sure I'll find something to do with it.

Very quickly after I ordered they reached out to ensure there would be no issues with shipping because of where I live. What I ordered arrived shortly after. I can tell it had been neatly packed and had been well-stored until shipment. This is a superb seller and I will be buying from them again.

This fabric is light as a feather, so it was perfect for a very full pleated skirt! The fabric is more stunning in real life.
