We love offering in-person dressing experiences to Japanese and foreign visitors as well as Kimono dressing classes for beginners in person and even online.
We believe the best thing about Kimono is its ability to connect people across generations and cultures. I will be happy to coordinate your Kimono, Obi, and various accessories depending on whether you want to look casual, fun, or cute.
Let’s enjoy Kimono together!
