FAQHow do I wear kimono? How does a sizing work? How do I wear uchikake? How do I tie obi? How do I clean kimono and obi? What is the difference : men's kimono & women's kimono? Are there any books about kimono ? More About ObiThere are four kinds of Obis. "Maru Obi","Fukuro Obi",""Nagoya Obi" and "Hanahaba Obi". What are the differences? Obi Display Hint At one time, even the most magnificent obi in Japan had only one purpose:
to tie a kimono. Today, however, people everywhere are discovering the
almost unlimited decorative potential of the obi. With your own special
obi, you can add the flair of your personality to just about anything in
the home. They are elegant as table runners and wall hangings. They can
be folded or tied in a variety of ways to create elegant displays on furniture,
and they make breathtakingly beautiful drapes.The stunning designs and
colors found in obi will brighten up any corner. Click here and see what
our customers have done so far! Perhaps you too can become part of our
photo album. We are always thrilled to receive email from you, and we love
to see photos of your special obi creations. |

POLICIES *Shipping We ship our items from post office basically. There are three options: Express(EMS) 3-5 business days Standard(SAL) 2 weeks to a month By SEA 5 weeks to three months The shipping may take longer according to each country- we are afraid it seems Standard shipping to USA sometimes takes more than a month. Express has a tracking website and you can track a parcel easily, so we recommend to choose Express if you need to receive your order by a certain date. Someitems cannot be shipped by Standard or by SEA because of the size. Please see the shippig cost information of each item in the listing page. (if you prefer to use FeDEX, please let us know. We ship our items from JAPAN. You may be charged fee at the custom in your country. We can not know whether your package will be charged or not, and how much it will cost. In any case, the customs duty is the recipient's responsibility. *Return Our items are old(used) or vintage, so they are basically unreturnable.The items are sent from Japan directly by using international postal service, so international shipping cost is charged- which is different from domestic shipping and it is considered as indivitual import. We answer any questions about your order if needed beforehand. If there is any flaw which are not shown in the listing, we will refund after checking. Please let us know within 14 days after the arrival of the parcel. We cannot accept any returning after 14 days from the delivery date. We cannot accept any returning without any contact to us. *Discount We are trying to set the reasonable price on our site from the beginning. We offer discount only for these cases.

| 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, abd 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. |
