Edo Komon:
- It is said that during the Edo period, the patterns were dyed on the kimonos that the feudal lords from all over the country were required to wear by their respective clans. At first glance, it looks like a plain color from a distance, but when you get up close, you can only see the intricate patterns that were sought out and nurtured by the sense of style of samurai and townspeople who were suppressed by the ban on extravagance.

This fabric was once part of a kimono robe, therefore there might be light spots. The Kimonos are carefully selected by an owner of a long established kimono store (over 100 years old!), then deconstructed and ironed by highly experienced Japanese women before shipped to the US by air. Quality and satisfaction guaranteed.
