About Me:

I am a designer who is producing the contemporary clothes by using the old KIMONO
Many KIMONO are put away in the chest of drawers, and it is thrown away . I think that is very regrettable though the KIMONO is a thing to boast of the traditional beauty of Japan.

A "shaku" is the width of material (About 35 centimeters)and the length are 12meter for one roll.
KIMONO has a very rare culture that there is no
uselessness because of being composed of the straight line, and it tries to sew seven times and it dispatches and can be used tothe last minute　completely. T

The point of ecology also included the thing, it searched for a modern design, and the style "Square clothes by "KOFU that means old KIMONO" installed square when folding
was made. Clothes flatly composed of the straight line ventilate and become three-dimensional silhouettes that show a gradual drape if you wear it.

The silk [kinuzure] sound becomes comfortable clothes.
The spirit that values the culture of "Mother's chest of drawers" that meets the KIMONO is succeeded and only one clothes are made in the world. "
