Description

Yuzen Tanmono roll in polyester crepe. This beautiful Yuzen Tanmono roll (友禅反物), woven in traditional Japanese crepe, features vibrant floral and natural motifs. Made of polyester, it offers a soft and lightweight texture, perfect for making kimonos. With a width of approximately 36 cm and a total length ranging from 11 to 13 meters, it has never been used and is ready to be transformed into an elegant garment. The fine and detailed patterns reflect the beauty of nature, ideal for sophisticated and traditional creations. Being a vintage/second-hand piece, it may show some stains or imperfections.

Kimono fabric rolls, called Tanmono (反物), are specially designed to create custom-made kimonos. A typical Tanmono measures between 11 and 13 meters in length and about 36 cm in width, providing enough fabric for a complete kimono. However, for Furisode (振袖) kimonos, which are characterized by their elegant long sleeves and formal use, it is common to use longer rolls, up to 16.5 meters, to ensure that every part of the garment is perfectly crafted.

The Yuzen Eba Tanmono (友禅絵羽), in particular, features hand-painted or hand-dyed patterns that align perfectly during sewing, creating a harmonious design. This type of roll often consists of several pre-cut pieces, connected by threads to facilitate the final assembly, ensuring a perfect fit and elegant finish.

For Furisode, additional pieces of plain fabric, around 4 meters, can also be included for linings or contrasting elements, adding even more refinement to the final garment.

Care tips

Hand wash - silk fabrics

This is a gentle and effective method of washing delicate fabrics such as silk. Cleaning with cold water and mild shampoo will be important. Avoid scrubbing the patterns too hard as this may damage them. After cleaning, rinse the fabric thoroughly with warm water to remove any shampoo residue. Avoid wringing or wringing out the fabric as this may damage it.

It is important to avoid drying these types of fabrics in direct sunlight, as this can lead to discolouration or deterioration of the fibres. Also avoid using a tumble dryer as this can damage the fibres of the fabric. Instead, place them on a clean, flat surface or hang them on a hanger to dry in the open air and shade.

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.

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.

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.
