My American friend shared one topic with me. One non Japanese arrested allegedly defacing shintoism shrine. Yes this news was published a few days ago in Japan. Not only this we heard many tourisim problems nowadays. See last photo. I saw it in Yasaka shrine in Kyoto gion in this month. Yasaka shrine was one of very opened mind one but seems they found too much problems. Indeed nowadays every shrine and temple has same warning. Also photographers take photos of tourists customers, ignoring rules. Our shop would like our guest to learn Japanese culture and rules which is also part of tourism joy. I mean knowing different countries cultureral rules and philosophy is part of travel. Otherwise only taking portrait photos, you can do it with CG at your home. Learn new culture and bring it to your mind and home which will help your life, I believe therefor our shop sometimes need to decline our guests requests like taking photos without greeting shrines, etc... If you think shops should follow all orders from guests, please find other shops.

Over online shop and at our shop, for men and women as well as for dressing and decoration, we sold several kimono recently. Customers are Asian, European and American very diversity. I am so happy that non Japanese keep a kimono at their home. My memory of our parents kimono shop was difficult situation when I was small. Japanese did not buy kimono at that time.( we sold only brand new nice expensive one like houtecuture) More western culture was popular. If you visit our home page, you can read our shop history. My late father who was a president said we should close a kimono shop then start a book shop instead, because of refundable when he was at the hospital. I could not foget it.

They have own photographer so we helped only kimono rental and dressing! Beautiful family. Today we had another kimono plan guest but she thought kimono plan she can keep kimono but actually not. We don’t have such plan but Yukata plan you can keep l. The biggest reason is size. Second hand kimono are small as you may imagine. Second hand kimono came from elder Japanese ladies. And it will be very expensive if our rental kimono, you like to buy. If you like to have own kimono, please chose “just shopping “ not “joining plan” from our booking form.

Two guests requested me to have a tea ceremony after shopping Yukata so I made some optional tea ceremony for out going Yukata shopping guests! Our shop listen our guests voices then change our style or create new style according to the voices. Last day it was warm but today it is so cold! The guest said colder than UK! Funny thing is that we had opposite guests last week. This guests and the guests from last week are both Holland and UK international couple but gender is opposite! Funny!!

Warmest day in November! OK for being in Yukata outside and enjoy the tea ceremony as well. Pink and bule made good couple contrast. Sakeya Kimono Shop suddenly become busy. Shopping at shop and renting as well as I send out many sleeping Yukata to outside Japan. Akinai (running small business) which homonyms is "don't get bored". I am often truly agree with this.

Mama was in the single-colored Kimono with formal Fukuro-obi. Visiting style formal Kimono we have one for her size but additional price is big so we decided to go for Iromuji (single-colored Kimono) which is kind of almighty depending on obi you can change the formality. 753's main is kids so Mama should not be too outstanding. I saw one non-Japanese family 753 photo and mama was in Furisode long sleeved Kimono for single women. Mama looks most outstanding on the photo. It may have reason to do but some surprise for Japanese.

We celebrated one 7years old girl 753! She dressed in a special kimono with accessories for 753 and the hair is traditional one which is very meaningful to do on the day. Our shop also helped blessings at the shrine (second photo). Without this blessing you can't say”you did 753”. We support it as well! 7years girls in kimono is very very very pretty!! Don’t miss it!

Restock information! At Kyoto, I could get many tall size Yukata and some Kimono for men. Welcome over 175cm gentleman! Even over 2m I think we have Yukata! And I added women's big size Geta (yukata shoes) at our online shop too. If you have wide feet, this Geta will be best! I always look for this style and now I got again. Many good items I could find in Kyoto. Kyoto is amazing, still producing items while in Tokyo, we mainly only consume... Now I am talking with one maker to make Sakaeya original obi. I think American love to get this obi! Hope I can show it next year!

Visiting some business partners in Kyoto. Always amazed by their history and esthetic. Reception phone is old style still rotary phone. But in hotel already Christmas decorations. Got some energy to work for traditional kimono not fake one. I am happy to be part of Japanese traditional culture team!! Thanks for my guests who ordering our shop!

Not only 753kimono, we have many children Kimono for rental. Not only for girls but also for boys as well (boy kimono limited). As well as baby cover kimono is free of charge if both parents rent Kimono (under 2yold, see last photo). Actually, educational viewpoint and kawaii point, it is nice to try on Kimono when they are small. We also offer the tea ceremony too! Kids have open minds, often they glue to watching the tea ceremony movements. Me too, I tried the tea ceremony when I was kindergarten, and I was fascinated by movements and the sweets!

Happy Halloween from Sakaeya Kimono Shop bosses. From left side EHIME CEO is hand made batafly. TEIO SALES MNG is the Kintaro. Alrietty PR mng is a hand made goust. Kintarō is a folk hero from Japanese folklore from hakone. A child of superhuman strength, he was raised by a yama-uba ("mountain witch") on Mount Ashigara. He became friendly with the animals of the mountain, and later, after catching Shuten-dōji, the terror of the region around Mount Ōe, he became a loyal follower of Minamoto no Yorimitsu under the new name Sakata no Kintoki (坂田金時). He is a popular figure in Bunraku and kabuki drama, and it is a custom to put up a Kintarō doll on Boy's Day in the hope that boys will become equally brave and strong by wiki

I love history and she learned Japanese old time history. It was very nice to talk with her. This wisteria Yukata is real dye out one, not one side printed. She knows some historycaly famous people had name "Fuji" which means Wisteria in Japan. If you travel around west side of Japan like nara, we can find wild Wisteria in their hills so I suppose at the old time, around Nara was our capital so some used Fuji for thir name, like Fujiwara. Wisteria also become popular family crested. I find who has Fuji family name often have this family crest, like Fujii, fujita... I would say Wisteria is very iconic in Japan! Beautiful! Thanks to .abroad.23 san!

Sakaeya Kimono Shop's red rental Kimono collection for adult women. All silk and first 2 Kimono are antique, so they are bit small. Last long sleeved one can be dressed by taller and wider (optional). Now Tokyo is very good season for Kimono dressing and soon it will be too cold for Yukata so please try our Kimono plan! You can get photo helps and the tea ceremony as complimentary.

My kimono culture exchange began very early, around 3 years old. I can say myself "professional of kimono cultureral exchange"!? Our guests at our home were in our sleeping Yukata. There was red pattern for women but nowadays all patten is indigo color on white fabrics. Maker can't sell so much so they concentrate on indigo color. We use this Yukata for ourselves therefor we know quality then recommend you (online shop available) . I dressed many red color kimono in children's time and red was for young girls kimono color but I know some countries like red so we have some red kimono for adult as rental and they are silk so nice red not polyester red color.

The lady is in the non-lining Kimono so we can check back side of the Kimono. You see last photo; you can see craft man add the color over the pattern. Basis pattern I suppose, they use Japanese traditional paper stencil dyeing. After it, some flowers got colors with brush by hands. I like the Kimono but no one chose and bit small. The lady asked what my recommendation is so I showed this and she also likes it. I am so glad that it fits her well with red & pink Obi. Now great season to enjoy Kimono so hope we can have more Kimono plan guests again. Our yukata plan is too popular since you can keep the Yukata but our Kimono is really authentic. Not many tourist Kimono shops offer such silk Kimono and real Obi style. I saw many non-Japanese dress in polyester Kimono with casual Yukata obi. I feel bit complicated feeling. Real Kimono is not like that. Kimono is more more sensitive and well made. As well as non-Japanese tourist men dress Kimono without Haori Kimono jacket which we called Kinagashi and not so good for adult man’s out going but for more inside. We can offer all traditional style Kimono for men and women both.

This is how to make the most traditional Yukata. Gluing with beans paste then scrub with brush with indigo. Mr Noguchi Jr thought us how to do it. Seems the Angelina Jolie used only indigo liquid pot. This is one more explanation about previous Vogue post.
