Last day of Hokkaido, our vacation last day, Visited the Ainu museum. Tried fake thier costumes. Without first photo, other are real one. I found I love folk costumes not fashion. Can you imagine they dressed in such wear on snow? Beautiful! You may not know Ainu (we neither) Ainu are an indigenous ethnic group who reside in northern Japan and southeastern Russia. Had own culture and philosophy but old Japanese government banded them, for assimilation policies. I learn many things at the museum and found our history texts books are optimized bit. Knowing real history and culture help human and futures. I thought Edo era was peaceful but seems many small wars, Ainu was fighting against Japanese colonization. Also other minority too. And I found kimono was used assimilation policies! It is so sad to distinguish other folk costumes.each folk costumes have own beauty. With limited materials, for example, Ainu could not make cotton silk but other plans and animal skins, using such materials with own idea (Ainu embroidery has meaning) and fits nature not only cold but also Beatiful contrast with nature and own body) all folk costumes are developed for long. Kimono is beautiful but I don't deny other folk costumes beaty!

Thank you for attention. Sakaeya Kimono Shop close until 19th Dec but we open on Christmas, end and new years seasons! We are in Hokkaido now ! Snow is beautiful, no one can't deny. Frozen lake covered with fresh snow, even no single dot at all. Heaven!? We took a shikansen or Japanese fastest train until there. We acrossed the channel between honsyu and Hokkaido by the shikansen (last photo) it was so fun. Train master gave an explanation about it so nice to try!

2 years girl enjoyed in the Kimono. This Kimono really well made with silk and padding which is for not cold and kid's body wider (kimono needs bit wide body to show pattern) I will explain more later. Mama san Kimono is new for renal. Good color for autumn! The girl could not drink the tea but at least enjoyed the sweet and the tea ceremony host's movement!

The kimono color was changed from Champagne to light brown. Silk is living so can get darker color. If get older, stain or sun breaching, adding color help us. It was done already 2 year ago but I have not dressed it yet since I can not find good obi for it. This obi is not parfect so I must find better one for it.

Last day one order we got. The left fabric is going to our sewing lady to make the customer size Yukata. Right side photo is same fabric Yukata with another color. Beautiful! Funny our sewing lady is busy with Yukata even in winter in Japan!! And both Yukata will be dressed IN USA so one day accidentally they may meet?! Our shop will close from 13th until 20th December but we will open on end and new years season!

A pretty Yukata family! From grand mother to 3 years baby are in Yukata! Left side lady's Yukata are going to be sewn and deliver to their country. We try to have many sizes as much as we can. But if we don't, we can create it. Yes time and some more fees are needed but we don't say "we can't". Luckly the yukata fabrics which we have 2, this left side lady likes it. I also like this pattern, and I once sold different color Yukata to another lady and it was beautiful. Often customers believe there are many many pre-made plus size but actually only 2. One is up to 110cm hip and the other is up to 120cm. Over it, we can make any size with hand sewing so please ask us! But give us time and bit more bugged!

Left Yukata used to be mine (right side photo) but different size. Yukata and kimono can be changed size if hand sewn. How much can be extended is depending on the fabric wide. All fabrics ware around shoulder wide because of most practical wide for hand weaving without machine. Basically kimono and Yukata cultures developed along with shoulder size and traditional kind of rules. Hard to explain, if fabric is wider then we need to cut to make kimono figure but these edges became fragile so hard to sew with hands. Left size lady came to our shop for Yukata plan but did not share her correct size. This old mine Yukata was changed to widest size which is even wider than any pre made plus size Yukata. Indeed her size needs even more wide but Yukata plan means she wanted to drees it on the day and get photo help. Pre made Yukata maximum is up to 120cm hip ladies and normal one fabric hand sewing Yukata is up to 125cm(depend on fabrics size). Over 125cm we recommend 2fabrics hand sewing Yukata. The left lady can't hide her left end with front panel Yukata fabrics which means she needs more fabrics. Please let us know your size correctly!! Recently many gave us wrong size. One man is around 150cm tall but his wife had announced us "160cm" . I am a kind of kimono doctor and like to offer correct items to all. For it, the size is most important. If you don't like to tell us your size, you can drop in other shops! They don't give consultation so it is fine for them.

She was our repeater and she dressed in a Tsumugi or pongee which fits Autumn in my experience. Our shop rent Pongee as well (limited size). If you like to know Kimono well, you cannot avoid it. Pongee has different beaty. It was for more famer Kimono but nowadays we value it since complicated to make it more. You can not go formal situation in it but nice and soft and warm! For pongee, we use also different style obi. In Tokyo, still autumn leaves!

I am so glad they came our shop. The girl has bit DD so we want to give her non-stress Japanese cultural experience. I wish they told it in advanced then we can give more time. We don't have special price to anyone but if someone need supports, we offer more time. As well as our shop's style is very private. She dost not need to meet other guests. And our shop is hidden, no one can see from windows or doors. If your family needs special support. please feel free to come our shop. We cannot take care of them technically but at least we try not to give stress but give more time to them! Thank you for the girl you did great job!

Yukata with autumn leaves is kind of contradiction! Yukata is for summer and autumn leaves are for autumn! In Tokyo there are many autumn leaves now. One honeymoon couple enjoy both and the tea ceremony! My helper said to me "easy to take photos of them" yes honeymoon, always smile and happy! Wish their happiness forever or Suenagaku Oshiawaseni!

Bit cold but they went to the Meiji shrine by themselves with own photographer and said it was great. The lady got hair and make up by professional. Looks so different and pretty! In November, maybe still ok for Yukata if you are fine around 15 degrees. From December, it will be under 10degrees and Jan and Feb around 5degrees. Kimono is much warmer. Many layers and silk as well as with socks. Think our kimono plan ! It is rental but we rent very nice silk kimono and obi with authentic style! More than price! Kimono rental with tea ceremony and photo help 12000yen PP solo 17000yen.

November 22 today "Good Spouse Day" in Japan. I left Martin (my husband) when I went to Kyoto for business in this month. I had cooked some dishes for him but also offered some money him to go restaurants. When I returned to home, I found that Martin did not use money mostly and cooked by himself. He said he went to once Ramen and Carry outside which are cheap in Japan. Mainly he cooked and bought the cheapest red wine,500yen! He said to me " it was more than price!" as well as "cleared kitchen, bath and air conditioner". Amazing, it is hard to find such spouse in Japan. Moreover, he sold some items at Sakaeya Kimono shop and did some accounting work for Sakaeya during my business trip. (He has own professional job though). I must thanks to him! Photo is from one trip in Kyoto around 10 years ago. Not so crowded at that time.

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.
