【KIMOMO is a CULTURE 】

You will notice that Kimono tells us beautiful spirits of Japanese culture.
The remnants will be changed to hair accessories, dolls, small bags and etc.
Even one piece of remnant should not be wasted.
Also, people often express their respect toward nature when they wear Kimono.
Kimono has so many patterns on it, such as flowers, rivers, leaves, fishes, birds and etc. People wear Kimonos that should be fit to the season, and respect all lives in nature.
As these stories tells, you see Japanese cultural value for “Harmony”, called “和(wa)”.
Harmony with nature, with environment, with lives.
