Question :Do you know what the real style of Yukata (summer cotton kimono) is?
I feel responsibe to show what Yukata should be for our all customers, including non-Japanese, as we have 50 years experience as a Kimono shop owner. If you love Japanese culture, please drop in one secret restaurant in Ginza which is run by Ryotei, nationality is not important.
You also have a chance to see Yuzen artist, Mr Koryu Oyaizu.

A Yuzen ; a technique drew pictures on kimonos; artist will come to
show his talent live. If you are interested in having one of a kind Yukata, you are welcome to ask him to paint a picture! The price would be from around 50,000yen ( Tanmono (fabric), original picture and sewing fee).
Day: Saturday at 21st of June
Time: from 13:00PM to 16:30PM (Anytime you can leave and come)

Answer: Traditionally Kimono and Yukata did not required tailoring. They used to be made from a single piece of fabric called Tanmono. The proper method of purchasing a Yukata is first choose the Tanmono. Then the Kimono shop measures your body and then asks a professional needle men/women to sew the Tanmono to fit each individual. Though the sewing method for the kimono is quite simple, until World War 2 it was commonly said that women had to have this sewing skill in order to get married!
Nowadays so many shops sell pre made; already sewn Yukata into S/M/L size. It might be true it fits the modem society's request but I just want show you what is authentic Yukata style as a daughter who was born among a Kimono shop owners family.
Yukata tannmono ; a single piece of fabric is available at our shop since the middle of May. The Tanmono price is from 12000yen (both women and men)~. The process of hand sewing the yukata takes 2~3 weeks and the price is 12000yen~. All you need , when you were Yukata is Yukata and Obi ( price women 6000yen~ men 5000yen~ ) and Thin sashes to tie 100yen, Geta wooden
sandals for Yukata (premaid geta 1200yen~).
What is advantage to making Yukata from Tanmono?
The Yukata can be re-sewn and you can change the size! The tanmono is cut into eight strips. Two strips are both folded in half to form the panels covering the front and back of the body, and two smaller strips are folded similarly to become sleeves. The remaining four strips (as well as some additional smaller strips) are used on various areas, including the narrow front panel and collar.
Each part overlaps so they make extra space. These extra spaces provide the kimono with extra length for adjusting height, width and sleeve size.
We are selling lager size Yukata tanmonos for women. Tamono has a set width so sometimes it is hard to sew to fit Non-Japnaese since we have different body lines. Therefore we made special size Yukata tanmono for Woman. They are bit wider than usual one.
============================
We are also having custom made Yukata fair at our shop in Omiya.
one more! Kahori is going to California to look for Kimono business. If you have any idea, I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks and see you soon!

taste of the Orient in rural Herefordshire
Sue Lim, of Blue-Ginger, in Cradley, was delighted to welcome Kahori Ochi, from The Kimono Shop, in Omiya, Japan, for a Green Tea and Kimono' day.
Sue met Kahori in February when visiting her son, who works in Tokyo, and now stocks vintage kimonos and kimono jackets (haori) from Kahori's shop.
A lunchtime group enjoyed a demonstration of the tea ceremony and an explanation of the philosophy and history behind the graceful movements and careful actions.
Kahori also told interesting tales about the kimono and everyone had the opportunity to try on different colours and styles. In the evening, the experience was repeated for another group.

Sorry it isn't right-side up.
Want to try two special type of Kimono at same day?
Have you always wanted to try a beautiful Japanese kimono to keep and pass on to your daughters, but you weren’t sure how? Please join Sakae-ya Kimono Shop for a special girls' day event on March 2nd.
You can try a long-sleeved kimono that is the most single formal women’s style, named Furisode and a traditional Japanese woman student uniform at one same day.
Traditionally, Furisode are warm at Seijinshiki which is a coming-of-age day for Japanese 20-year-olds. Furisode were the most precious possessions for women at
that time, making her life more meaningful and tasty. Girls dreamt of wearing a beautiful furisode and looking like a princess. The pictures taken on that day were often sent to matchmakers, and saved forever. Today, the custom is to go to City Hall, receive congratulations from the Mayor, and meet old friends to celebrate.
On the other hand, traditional Japanese student costumes had been warm during from Meiji restriction to early Showa era. Normal Kimono was too formal to ware at schools so men's Hakama which are kind of Kimono pants for Samurai adapted to woman's student uniform. I personally love this idea and I warm it as my graduation party!
