Kimono Creativity

Kimono Creativity

Japan’s traditional costume, the kimono, dates back to the 8th century, although it has changed considerably over the years. With a huge variety of designs, the kimono expresses the unique Japanese approach to beauty. Almost 70 percent of Japanese silk kimono fabric is made in the Tango region, in northern Kyoto Prefecture. Tango Chirimen silk crepe has a finely wrinkled surface that reflects light randomly, adding unique depth and richness to the colors. Today, we even see kimonos using overseas motifs, influenced by cultures and styles from around the world. Somehow always fresh, this traditional garment continues to charm an ever wider audience.
