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.

I am not able to give enough praise for my item! It’s such a beautifully handmade and hand painted kimono! I was over the moon with how perfect it is!! It looks excellent for being at least 25 years old, if not more. It came excellently folded and sealed. Not to mention it came in 4 days!!!!!!! From the other side of the world lol Thank you so much. It was exactly as pictured, even better when I actually got to touch it! I literally was jumping up and down with giddy excitement as I tried it on. Glad I’m tall, makes a long kimono much easier to wear :) I’ll be purchasing more, along with some belts to make fit perfect.

The owners are very communicative and responsive. They worked with me since I needed a slightly longer cut of cloth. The quality of the material is top notch and the print is gorgeous! I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Japanese cloth. ^__^

Beautiful fabric that I genuinely can't wait to utilise in crafts. I live on the West Coast of the US and this only took a week to arrive from Japan. Would gladly purchase from again :)
