It's been a long time since we began wearing western clothes in our daily lives. But kimono, the Japanese traditional clothes are not something what we want to leave behind. Ichiroya is opened to offer you the authentic and charming old kimono on the net. Most of the kimono we offer here are one-of -a-kind from Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe. Please take a look at the detailed pictures. We send the item directly from Japan to your place.

A lot of kimono have been kept carefully in the chest of each family for a long time. We take a gentle care of them and fix if needed and offer you with a reasonable price just as the price of the Japanese flea markets ! We offer kimono, haori(a short jacket), uchikake(a wedding coat) , furisode( flowing- sleeve fancy kimono) and cute children's kimono, too! We also offer a variety of obi(sash belt), haori ties and other accessories to go with kimono. We are constantly adding new items.

Some kimono are just art created by elaborate work of craftmanship. Some are handsewn by mothers to get enough warmth. Some have dynamic and stunning designs. Some have the design s so subtle. Some textiles are woven with the premium silk, and some are woven with left over silk thread. Some are worn by a bride in her wedding ceremony only once, but some are worn by ordinary hardworking mothers everyday. Some are heavily brocaded on exquisite silk, and some has been untied , redyed and sewn again for the second or third time use. Some have designs using symbols of prosperity, longevity or children's health and growth. Some even have militaristic tone handpaintings in the lining!

The charms of kimono are timeless, and we think they are borderless, too. There were many rules to wear kimono as a garment. But taking them into our life now, there is no rule. With your artistic flair, they become alive again, as a garment or an interior decor to brighten up the corner of your home.

Our job is to wake up old kimono and introduce their charms and send them to new homes. If you meet your special kimono in our shop, we will be very happy to wake her (or him)up and tell her to get ready for travel. They will be happy to fly to any place in the world to be used again! Please come to see our old kimono and find your special one.
