and Kimono Notes

- Characteristics of Kimono Techniques -

> Post-Dyed Garments (Kata-zome, Yuzen, etc.)

• As these are hand-dyed by artisans, you may notice minor dye splatters or bleeding.
• Some dyeing techniques intentionally create a bleeding effect.

> Pre-Dyed Yarn Garments (Tsumugi, Omeshi, etc.)

• You may notice small knots (neps) of Tsumugi yarn on the fabric surface; these are the traces of handwork. Additionally, slightly loosened threads may occasionally protrude from the surface.

> General Notes

• Please be aware that color transfer may occur when exposed to sweat.
• Garments dyed with natural dyes, such as botanical dyes, may fade if exposed to sunlight for extended periods.

- Traces of Unstitching, Minor Scratches, and Stains -

• As we use vintage kimonos, there may be minor stains or marks. These naturally emerge over time, and we hope you will embrace and enjoy them as part of the garment's unique history. We kindly ask for your understanding.
• As the perception of these marks varies from person to person, please consider this before making a purchase.

- Pattern Placement and Color Variations -

• The product images shown are for representative purposes.
• Due to how the fabric is cut, the pattern and color placement may differ slightly from the sample photos. We appreciate your understanding.
• The actual colors may vary slightly depending on your device's display settings and environment.

- Sizing Details -

• As each piece is finished by hand, there may be slight dimensional variations.
• Due to the individual characteristics of each piece, there may be slight differences in size even for the same product and size category.
• Please note that the fit may feel slightly different upon wearing. We appreciate your understanding.

- Aftercare -

• Although the fabric has been pre-washed, washing at home may cause it to shrink. Color bleeding may also occur (especially with post-dyed garments). We highly recommend dry cleaning for aftercare.
