Ceremonial Kimono – Shiki koromo 'Shiki koromo' was first invented to express and remind the beauty of Japan's four seasons as Japanese tradition is mostly based on the seasonal objects and motifs. Our kimonos are all special pieces with seasonal flower and tree motifs. The characteristic of this piece is that it prevents discoloration as it's dyed with 4th grade technique. The kimono uses only highest quality domestic thread and treated with a wrinkle-resistant finish therefore you can enjoy the fine texture for a very long time.
