●Message from Mr. Hirayama of Kochi Prefecture
Cotton linen shijira kasuri
I am very satisfied with the comfort of the Shijira Kasuri. Thank you for the hand towels too. Currently, I basically wear Japanese clothes when I go out on my days off. I feel like I have a lot more room with three summer clothes. I think I will come back next year or the year after, so I look forward to seeing you again.
●Message from "Okamisama" in Fukuoka Prefecture
Spring/Summer Cotton "Carnation"
Hello, I'm a little late, but my kimono arrived safely last week. It was packaged very carefully, which shows your attitude towards kimonos.
I tried it on right away and was blown away by the soft colors and the pattern that I fell in love with at first sight when I saw it on the website. The fabric is thin and light yet sturdy, and the stitching is done carefully. I couldn't be more satisfied!
Until now, I only knew about cotton kimonos which were either thick and sturdy like the old Chusen-dyed yukatas, or the thin ready-to-wear fabrics commonly seen in mass retailers these days, so I was surprised to find out that there are cotton kimonos like those made by MENYA FABRIC!
However, the size was a little large, so I realized that if I ask for a medium size next time, it will be fine. I was nervous and worried because it was my first time having a kimono tailored, but when I received a call when I placed the order, my anxiety changed and the waiting time turned into excitement and fun. The Shiba Inu tenugui that was packed with the kimono was also cute and made me feel warm inside. Lastly, thank you for such a wonderful kimono. It was a very good experience.
I plan to wear it a lot and go to various places from now on. If there is another opportunity, please come again.
●Message from Mr. Narumi, Saitama Prefecture: Summer undergarment "Suzukokochi"
I received the product today. I immediately opened it and tried it on. It's a very nice item just as I imagined, and it looks comfortable, so I'm looking forward to wearing it. Thank you for the refreshingly colored tenugui. Thank you for all your help this time. I'd like to visit your store someday if I have the chance.
●Message from "Yamakawa-san" from Mie Prefecture (Spring/Summer Cotton, Even Stripes)
The kimono arrived safely today. It's a beautiful kimono, and arrived without any wrinkles. I'm going to keep practicing so that I can wear kimonos easily. Thank you very much for your help.
Message from Mr. Miyazawa, Fukuoka Prefecture (Sankatsu-dyed thin obi)
I received it safely today. Thank you very much. I can't visit the store very often, so I will continue to check the internet site. I hope to do business with you again.
●Message from Mr. Yoshikawa of Osaka Prefecture (Cotton and hemp kimono)
It arrived safely. It's very comfortable to wear. Thank you very much.
Message from "Takebayashi" in Fukuoka Prefecture
[TAKUMI] Cotton kimono "Hail pattern"
This was my first time having a kimono tailored at this shop. I was looking for a cotton kimono, and it was my first time having a kimono tailored to my size, completely hand-sewn. I exchanged emails and phone calls with the store staff many times before it was completed. As I am a kimono beginner, I was very grateful for the kind and polite service, with the explanations being given to me in a very clear and easy-to-understand manner. The fabric is firmer than I expected, and I feel like I can wear it even in winter. They accommodated my various requests, such as adding an opening for the collar core and a matching fabric lining, and I was able to create a kimono that was just for me. It is a lovely light blue kimono. I plan to wear it carefully. For those who are not comfortable with ready-to-wear kimonos, such as those who are a little too wide for a free size and have long sleeves, having a kimono tailored to their size is wonderful. While many other stores use sewing machines and take 1-2 months to deliver, it is rare to find such careful sewing and detailed service. When I opened the box, it was wrapped in tatami paper and a cute handkerchief was included. The instructions for how to care for the kimono and the measurement chart for this tailoring were also enclosed, and I am impressed by the attention to detail. I look forward to buying more wonderful kimonos from this shop. Thank you very much.
●Message from Mr. Yamanaka, Kyoto Prefecture
CE Cotton Kimono [Red No. 4242/Single-ply]
Today, the long-awaited item arrived. I sometimes use catalog mail order, but I never thought that I could order Japanese clothes on the Internet, so I was a little scared and ordered it. I am excited to receive the actual item. I am very satisfied, it is more than worth the price. Thank you. It is my first time to wash a kimono myself, but the peace of mind will reduce the stress of getting sweaty or dirty, and I feel like I will be able to wear it on a wider range of occasions. Also, before placing the order, you kindly agreed to send me the scraps, so I decided to ask you for a reliable and safe request. Due to my job, I have many opportunities to meet foreigners, and I have avoided wearing silk single-layered kimonos in September and June, when it is too hot. Please continue to propose many fun Japanese clothes. I look forward to your website. Thank you very much.
●Message from "Tomoda-san" of Hiroshima Prefecture: Persimmon tannin cotton kimono "Plain (dark brown)/No.94"
Hello! I just received my persimmon tannin kimono. Thank you! It's more rustic than it looks online, and it feels like it contains linen. I think it would be surprisingly comfortable to wear, even if it's not suitable for midsummer. I think it's going to be one of my favorite pieces (*＾o＾*)
●Message from Mr. Nakajima, Kyoto Prefecture: Yarn-dyed cotton "Blurred stripes"
It arrived on March 17th. I was away, so I wore it on the 21st. The stitching was very solid and it seemed sturdy enough to withstand rough handling. I thought it would be a little heavy because it was lined with cotton fabric, but when I actually wore it, it wasn't that heavy and it fit perfectly with my cotton (Ise cotton) kimono. Thank you for tailoring me this wonderful haori. Also, please let me know if you have any other great ideas.
●Message selection of yukata for women from "Mr. Hamada" in Shiga Prefecture
I was very grateful for your help with my yukata the other day. I tried it on and it fit perfectly, and perhaps because it's made of cotton and linen, it was cooler and more comfortable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy the Gion Festival. I'd like to thank Suzuki-san and everyone who was involved in making this yukata.
Message received from "Mr. Okada" of Ibaraki Prefecture: Yarn-dyed cotton ladies' kimono "Plain colored pongee" single-sewn
Thank you very much for your help. The kimono has arrived!! I tried it on with the undergarment and it fit perfectly. The hem was easy to handle and there was no looseness around the sides, so you finished it exactly how I wanted it, thank you so much!! Thank you also for sending me the tailoring measurement paper. It will be very useful in the future if I have a kimono that I own that needs to be re-tailored. It is much thicker than I expected, and it is still too hot to wear, but I am looking forward to the coming season. I look forward to working with you again.
●Message from Honjo, Gifu Prefecture: Karasanza cotton half-width obi
The Furuwa Tozan half-width obi has arrived. Thank you for sending it so quickly. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations because it was a good price, but the color was lovely and the fabric was just the right thickness and lightness to tie easily, so I was happy that I made an unexpectedly good purchase. I'm caring for my family and don't have time to go out and buy entertainment items or clothes, so I'm especially happy when I can buy good items online. I look forward to checking out your products in the future. Thank you.
●Message from Mr. Yoshida, Tokyo: Yarn-dyed cotton kimono "Chikuchiku_tiku/single-stitched"
I purchased TIKU TIKU from Yoshida in Tokyo. I received it on the evening of the 11th. Thank you. I tried it on right away and it was the perfect size! I'm sure you took a lot of consideration into account when you had it made. Thank you so much. (You even included a small gift! I was so touched!) As expected, I really liked the cute and warm fabric. It's comfortable to wear and perfect for the coming season! I want to wear it as a regular kimono. Your cotton kimono fabric is really original and wonderful. There are many products that I'm interested in, so I hope to see you again at that time. It's a good season to wear kimonos. I know that Suzuki-san and all your staff are busy, but I hope you're doing well. Thank you for your late reply. Thank you.
A message from Momoki-san, Fukushima Prefecture: A dyed cotton kimono
I apologize for the late reply. I was busy and didn't have time to try on the kimono, but I finally put it on the other day. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear, so I'm very happy with it. On that day, there happened to be a kimono photo shoot in town, and I was able to take some photos, so I've included the address below. Please take a look if you'd like.
Message from Mr. Hasegawa of Fukushima Prefecture: Yuki Tsumugi shawl
I received it yesterday. As expected, the vibrant colors are great! I'm looking forward to brightening up my winter kimono look.
●Message from Mr. Shimano of Saitama Prefecture
CE Cotton Haori (Sashiko Check)
Thank you for your help. I received my haori yesterday. I thought it would be a ready-made product, but this time it was made to order and I was grateful for the service you provided, such as adding a hem to two places. The fabric is cotton, which I have never had before, so I think I can enjoy wearing it casually as an everyday kimono. I will be relying on you again in the future, so I look forward to working with you again.
●Message from Mr. Ishida, Kagoshima Prefecture, small pattern wool / folding screen obi
I did indeed receive the item yesterday. It's a stylish wool obi that looks easy to wear, and I really like it. Also, thank you for the cute zodiac furoshiki. I'm sorry for the trouble from application to shipping.
●Message from Mr. Koga, Chiba Prefecture: Spring/Summer CE Haori
The cotton haori coat I had tailored the other day has arrived. The length is just right, the width is loose, and it's very comfortable to wear, and the color is nice too. However, because the fabric is really light and soft, the back of the collar folds easily, and it's not quite neat, so I'm thinking of adding something like a core to the back later. (This may be because I have a short neck.) The tailoring and shipping were both very quick, and I'm happy that it arrived just in time for the season. Also, this is the first time I've been told the measurements for my tailoring, so it's very helpful. Thank you for the free gift. It's very cute. Thank you very much.
●Message from Mr. Akimoto of Yamaguchi Prefecture: Azumino Cotton (bolt of cloth)
Thank you for your help. I received the product yesterday. Thank you for the cute free gift. I'm going to wash it and make a dress out of it. I look forward to working with you again on other products.
●Message from "Hokari-sama" from Niigata Prefecture Azumino cotton haori (lined/with lining)
I received my cotton haori. I was happy to find that it was more comfortable to wear and felt better than I expected. So far, I have checked it and it has been carefully finished with no problems. Thank you. If I have another opportunity, I would like to order a hitoe kimono from you. I'm looking forward to it. Bye.
●Message from Mr. Okada of Saitama Prefecture
CE Cotton Kimono "Checkerboard Pattern/Unlined"
Thank you for your help. This is Okada, who requested that I have a cotton kimono tailored. The product arrived safely on December 31st, in time for the New Year. I am very impressed with the soft fabric and the careful stitching of the beautiful kimono. I was also very happy with the practical nature of the gift. Thank you very much. I am a beginner when it comes to kimonos, but if I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to request another order from Wata-ya Fabric. I look forward to your help in the future.
●Thank you for your kind attention to detail in this message from Mr. Takada of Osaka Prefecture. I am grateful for the extra consideration you showed for such a small purchase. The product was just as expected, and the recipient was pleased with it. I look forward to using your service again the next time I shop with you.
●Message from Mr. Nagano, Kanagawa Prefecture: Original cotton fabric "Sumi-dyed Samue" & Home Topper
The work clothes and home topper arrived safely on Friday. I tried them on right away and found that they fit perfectly and were very comfortable to wear, so I am very grateful. I was even given a free tenugui towel as a bonus... (I'm thinking of making a tapestry out of it and displaying it for a while). Rather than putting it away thinking it's a waste, I want to wear it as much as I can. Next time I'll probably get a yukata or komon... I hope we can continue our relationship for a long time to come. Thank you so much for this time.
Message from Mr. Takahashi of Chiba Prefecture
The items I ordered arrived today. I was impressed by the fabric, which was better than I expected, and the careful tailoring. It's a lined kimono, so I'll have to wait until autumn, but I'd like to wear it soon. I'd like to buy from here again next time. But there are so many things I want that I'm having trouble (lol). Thank you so much.
Message from Mr. Muramatsu of Gunma Prefecture
The product has just arrived. I love the material, size, color, and everything else. I also really appreciate the handkerchiefs and hand towels that were given as gifts. Thank you so much for speeding up the delivery. I'll be able to travel to Kyoto tomorrow wearing one of your kimonos. If I have another opportunity, I'd like to buy another product from your store. I'm very grateful. Thank you very much.
●Message from Mr. Kamiyabu of Tokyo
https://menya-fabric.com/hpgen/HPB/categories/20331.html
My kimono and my husband's haori have arrived. I haven't worn them yet, but I'm looking forward to wearing them. I'd like to order my husband's kimono as a Christmas present, but the website has been renewed. It's a shame that we couldn't see inside. My husband and I really like Cotton Shop because the prices are reasonable and the designs and coordination are wonderful. Above all, we were impressed by the promptness, politeness, and kindness of the staff. That's great. I'm looking forward to your continued support and I look forward to the website renewal.
Message from Mr. Inoue of Kanagawa Prefecture
https://menya-fabric.com/SHOP/MOK-BO4115.html
Today, I received my obi set. Thank you for the careful packaging. I am very happy that the obi I like and the obiage and obijime that Suzuki-san selected for me match very well. This is the first obi I have ever purchased myself. I will practice hard while looking at how to tie the obi on this website. Thank you so much for kindly checking my hemp kimono, even though it was not purchased at "Wa"! When I checked with the store where I purchased it, there was no detailed explanation about the fabric, but I was told that this hemp can be worn all year round, so it looks like I won't have to wait until next summer to wear it. I would like to say "right away", but I am looking forward to the day when I can tie the obi I purchased and make my kimono debut soon, with my parents teaching me how to put it on. Thank you very much for the handkerchief you gave me as a gift. I will never forget your kind consideration and kindness.
Message from Mr. Takamura of Shizuoka Prefecture (1)
Hello! The product arrived safely today!
It was very quick and I really appreciate you providing a receipt and gift wrapping as requested!
I'm very grateful for the pleasant transaction. I'm sure your kendo teacher will love it. Thank you so much. I'll use your service again if I have the opportunity!
●Message from Mr. Hori, Hiroshima Prefecture (1)
Thank you for your continued support. I just received my cotton kimono. I like the very soft, natural texture. I wonder why I feel calm just by holding it in my hands. Thank you for the wonderful product. It was made sooner than I expected, which was a great help. This is the best time to wear a kimono, so I'm going to wear it and go out tomorrow. Just thinking about how to coordinate it makes me excited: "What should I wear with the half-collar? As for the obi, I'll use my favorite half-width chintz obi that I bought at Wa no SITE." I hope that this site will continue to become even more wonderful...I support you from the bottom of my heart. Finally, I was once again touched by the gift that was enclosed. I will use it carefully. Thank you. First of all, I would like to thank you and let you know.
●Message from Mr. Hori, Hiroshima Prefecture (2)
Purchased item: Pure silk Japanese chintz half-width obi
Hello. Thank you for your help. I received the product today. It was a very nice chintz half-width kimono, just as I imagined. I was also happy to receive the cute coaster as a gift. I will use it carefully during my coffee time alone. I am 41 years old and a housewife with a 6-year-old daughter. I have been enjoying kimono life for three years. Of course, my daughter, who is learning Japanese dance, also loves kimono. About a month ago, while searching for a chintz half-width obi, I happened to come across your site and was impressed that there was such a good site. Since then, I have made it a daily habit to check "Wa no SITE" almost every day. In particular, the "coordination suggestions" are very educational, and I often lose track of time as I look at them with a thrilling feeling. I look forward to receiving more wonderful products in the future. Next time, I would like to buy a chintz everyday kimono. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Message received from "Nishikido-san" from Shizuoka Prefecture. Purchased item: Pure silk Japanese chintz half-width obi
Today I received my Japanese chintz half-width obi. I've always wanted a chintz obi, and this is the first time I've come across a chintz half-width obi. I really like it. Thank you very much.
●Message received from "Yoshida-san" of Tokyo Product purchased: Cotton kimono ordered from Wata-ya (indigo and persimmon dyed No. 62)
I received it today. I really like the plaid pattern of persimmon tannin and indigo! I'm currently raising a child and want to increase the number of cotton kimonos I have, but there's no other cotton that's as thick and durable as this one.
Actually, I washed the indigo-dyed kimono I ordered before in the washing machine... but it's a sturdy fabric that doesn't budge. And the stitching. Unlike polyester kimonos, the more you wash it, the better the texture gets.
Thank you very much for this opportunity. I look forward to working with you again.
Message received from Mr. Sasaki, Shimane Prefecture. Product purchased: Smiling Cotton Cut Cloth
Smiling cotton rabbit pattern,
http://blog.goo.ne.jp/ashiato13/e/93c4c02042035ac84af9e3194ed2bfd1
↑ There are three colors in the middle of the photo. A few years ago, I bought some scraps of fabric from an online craft supply store. I really like them, but they are so tiny that I felt it would be a shame to use them, so I just kept them. I searched online for the same pattern, and when I found it in your store, I jumped for joy in front of the monitor. I am so excited to receive it!
Message received from Mr. Nara, Ibaraki Prefecture. Product purchased: Hemp curtain
Thanks to you, the goods arrived safely today and were able to be ready in time for tomorrow's new store opening reception. The shopkeeper and staff have given it a very nice noren and it has been well received, and it has improved the atmosphere of the store. I was also deeply impressed with your store's service this time. From the first phone call to the end, you were attentive to every detail, and after carefully looking at your website, I was once again impressed with your store's attitude. As a fellow businessman, there are many things I would like to learn from you. This time, I used a lot of online shops to get a variety of items, and there were some great shops among them, but I believe that none of them could beat your store. I am grateful for your sincere service, which I can use as an example, and I wish your store continued success. I would like to ask for your help again in the future. Lastly, thank you for the cute handkerchief gift. I will treasure it. (^^)
●Message received from "Nitta-san" of Tokyo Purchased item: Genuine indigo kasuri fashionable obi (attached obi) No. 83/Sarasa antique indigo kasuri fashionable obi
(1) I noticed the bank account name and address in the order confirmation email, but I once came across Suzuki Kimono's website while searching the Internet for something. The website was very tasteful, and since I lived in Odawara until I was in my twenties, I felt nostalgic when I heard the name Yugawara. I was a little surprised to find such a nice store in Yugawara (sorry). It's been a long time since I moved, and I only go to Odawara for student reunions, but I would like to stop by next time I'm in that area. Thank you for your help.
(2) The product I ordered the day before yesterday arrived. It is a wonderful obi as expected, and no matter what I match it with, it will be fun. Thank you very much. I also got a handkerchief with autumnal colors and a sachet that matches the obi! I'm so happy. Thank you for this too. It was written on the website that the charm is gradually being lost, but the times are really changing rapidly. That's why I would like to incorporate things that do not change into my surroundings. And I like the way to incorporate things that are appropriate for the current era, such as silk kimonos such as tsumugi and komon, but what I want to wear most is kimonos that can be worn casually in everyday life, such as cotton, linen, and wool. I will be going to France this weekend. When I walk around that city, I sometimes come across window displays with striking colors. But when I think about it later, it's nothing, it's a combination of Japanese colors?! I've visited many times, but this time I decided to take a kimono with me for the first time. Wool and a half-width obi are easy to wear. Since it arrived, I'll take the chintz accessory with me. Please continue to suggest wonderful kimonos for everyday use. looking forward to it.
●Message from Mr. Fujiwara of Kyoto Prefecture (1)
Purchased item: Seasonal decorations
The product I was looking forward to has just arrived safely, and I have immediately displayed it in the niche at the entrance and in the living room, where it is most visible to the most people! It is very relaxing to look at. (However, I have not displayed the goldfish because it is too early in the season.) I think I will continue to use your services in the future, so I would appreciate your continued support. Thank you so much for the wonderful product.
●Message from Mr. Fujiwara of Kyoto Prefecture (2)
Purchased item: Seasonal decorations
Hello, it's a very nice day in Kyoto today. The items I ordered arrived safely just now, and I've put them up right away. (^_^)v I sent the Jizo statue to my mother, who lives far away, as a gift.
(The bonus coaster I received was so cute I kept it for myself.)
I really think your seasonal decorations are wonderful, and I look forward to seeing many more wonderful products in the future. Although it's simple, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you very much. (*^_^*)
●Message received from "Yoshio-san" from Saitama Prefecture Purchased items: Azumino cotton kimono (warbler) / furoshiki obi (spiral)
Good evening. Today, I received my kimono and obi! I was very happy that it was exactly as I imagined. Thank you very much. I have one question: how do I attach the obi to the pre-tied obi? Is it okay to fix it with the string of the obi pillow and the obi-jime? I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know, but if there is a good way, I would appreciate it if you could tell me. Thanks to you, it looks like it will be sunny on April 10th, so I will be able to make my kimono debut! Thank you again.
●Message received from Mr. Yoshida, Tokyo Purchased item: Indigo-dyed cotton kimono (No. 83)
I received the item yesterday. I thought it would be stiffer, but I was surprised at how supple it was despite its thickness. I thought it would be good for this time of year, so I wore it yesterday and today when I went out. I really like how it's eye-catching despite only being navy blue. It's also washable, which is convenient. If there's anything else I need to be careful of when washing it other than color fading, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. I'm planning to order something for summer use again in a while, so I'd appreciate your help then. (I'm thinking about Kakishibu Bunjin now (^-^). Anyway, thanks for now.
Message received from Mr. Sugiura, Aichi Prefecture. Product purchased: Yuzen bag
It arrived safely. I have already paid at FamilyMart, so I think it will arrive soon. This bag was requested by a Korean friend (I introduced him to the site, and he saw it and fell in love at first sight), and I will send it to Korea soon. I'm sure he will be happy with it. Thank you very much.
●Message received from Mr. Morita, Tokyo Purchased item: Persimmon dyed vintage yuzen bag/vintage "Jidai-nu" series
I received my items today. Everything I requested was received without issue and without any problems.
I am very satisfied with the wonderful items, just as I imagined. I used the persimmon tannin bag right away. Thank you for arranging the items. I transferred the money today, so please check it. Opening the Japanese Site has become a daily routine for me.
I look forward to seeing more great products being added in the future. Thank you. As an aside, we are planning to open a Japanese soba restaurant this fall, and are currently building it in Yashio City, Saitama Prefecture. In order to save as much as possible on labor costs, we spent two days the other day painting the lumber with persimmon tannins by hand. Because of this, I am very attached to the persimmon tannin bag I purchased this time. I was planning to give the persimmon tannin coasters as gifts to the friends who helped me with the painting, but unfortunately they were out of stock. I would like to purchase them when they arrive, so I will keep an eye on them!
Message received from Mr. Miyata, Saitama Prefecture Product purchased: Indigo dyed Shingen bag
The Shingen bag arrived safely. Actually, what I'm going to use it for is a carrying case for a laptop computer. It's for the Let's note CF-R3, which has been a hot topic lately. I was searching for a drawstring bag that would be a good size, and then I expanded my search to include the Shingen bag. Fortunately, I found the perfect Shingen bag online, and ordered it immediately. I was a little nervous when I opened it. I thought it might be too small, but it was a perfect fit. It also came with an inner bag, so it doesn't seem like it will get scratched. It really fits so perfectly that I thought I had ordered it. Of course, not only the size, but also the texture is excellent. I'm half satisfied, but it's rare to find such satisfaction. No, it makes carrying it around fun. It's an extra-large satisfaction. I just wanted to say thank you, so I typed this email. Thank you very much.
●Message from Mr. Sakuma of Saitama Prefecture
Purchased item: Yuzen mini mobile phone strapGood evening! This is Sakuma who ordered a Japanese mobile phone strap.
I received the product today. Although the color of each one is different, I really like the color. (*^_^*) Thank you very much. I will transfer the money tomorrow morning, so please check it by noon.
●Message from Mr. Nakayama of Saitama Prefecture
Thank you very much for your kind purchase of the product: a flower vase tapestry. I plan to buy this as a souvenir next month for a married couple who I visit every year. At first I was thinking of buying a yukata, but while men's yukatas are fine, women's yukatas are not easy to put on and I thought they would be too tight to wear as loungewear, so I gave up on that idea. The yukatas (nightwear) that are commonly sold for foreigners all look cheap, so I'm thinking it would be nice to have something more luxurious.
Well, I'm looking forward to it.
●Message from Mr. Ukai of Osaka Prefecture
Purchased item: Indigo dyed fabric "Thick" No. 13
The product has just arrived. Thank you for your prompt and courteous service. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Message received from "Takachi" in Ehime Prefecture Product purchased: Wataya custom-made kimono (single)
I received the kimono today. I put it on right away, it's my first time wearing a cotton kimono. I didn't realize that the material was so light and comfortable to wear, and it's not too light either. The color was just right, not too flashy, not too dark, not too light. I'm looking forward to seeing some plaids in the future that men can wear stylishly. Thank you very much.
Message received from Mr. Santo, Wakayama Prefecture: Product purchased: Interior lamp
Good evening. My name is Santo and I live in Wakayama Prefecture. I recently bought a light and a furoshiki. The light and furoshiki arrived yesterday, the 21st. I will use them carefully o(^o^)o As soon as I plugged it in and turned it on, a warm light enveloped the room...it was soothing. I would like to order from you again in the future. Also, thank you for the cute handkerchief gift.
Message received from Mr. Takamura, Kanagawa Prefecture. Purchased item: folding screen obi
It arrived today. It's a very easy-to-wear obi for everyday wear. Thank you for the handkerchief too.
Message received from "Ieda-san" from Saitama Prefecture Product purchased: Sake bag Thin triangular bag (sold out)
Thank you for your prompt delivery. I am also grateful for the gift. I will take the bag you sent with me to see the Kabuki tomorrow. I look forward to your continued support.
Message received from "Mr. Sudo" from Kanagawa Prefecture. Purchased items: Various types of Wata-ya fabric cut cloth
Thank you so much for sending me the cut fabric so quickly. It's a lovely fabric. Since the thickness of the fabric is different between dyed kasuri and antique cloth, I'm not sure which one would be best for the kimono, including the Sumi-zome sample you sent the other day. I'm hoping to order a hitoe-layer kimono by next summer, but I'll ask for more samples and cut fabric and take my time to decide. It may be difficult to order an obi all at once, but I'd like to order one someday. I look forward to your continued support. In the meantime, thank you for your time.
Message received from Kyoto Fabric "Douka-sama" Product purchased: Kuroe Haori
I received a wonderful haori. I was wondering if the pattern on the lining was too stylish, but the soft red color stands out against the black background, and I'm very satisfied. Also, thank you for the cute furoshiki. Thank you in advance.
Message received from Mr. Akama, Nagasaki Prefecture. Items purchased: Yukata, obi, geta, etc.
I'm late in letting you know that the item has arrived safely. It arrived about three days after I received the email that the item had been shipped.
Thank you very much. I haven't started tailoring yet, but I'm starting to prepare so that I can wear it for the New Year's countdown. I'll take some photos and send them to you if I can. Haha, the furisode season is already over, and although it's a little early, the yukata season will come again! If you don't mind, could you send me some information? I know it's really early, but... it's about to be midsummer here, and it's hard to understand that it's New Year's in Japan... I'll be in your care again, so thank you in advance.
Message received from Mr. Sasaki, Tokyo. Purchased item: Ready-to-wear synthetic kimono and obi
My email has been working poorly and it's been very difficult to get in touch with you, so thank you for taking the time to call me the other day to confirm. I was just about to leave France tomorrow morning, so I was very relieved to be able to check the product properly before then. The kimono with HN's family crest pattern that I ordered looked dark green on the website, but it was actually black, so I'm a little worried, but I think it's fine as long as it's something you like. It's hard to tell the base color when looking at it on the website, so this time I can see the actual product properly and make a decision, which is very helpful. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience I caused you by not being able to contact me well. It will arrive in Japan on the 30th, but I haven't received an email, so I'd like to call you once. Thank you for everything.
Message received from Mr. Iwasawa, Hyogo Prefecture. Purchased item: Seven-colored Netsuke for warding off evil
Hello. I received the item today. I heard that it's good to have something seven colors this year, as it's the year before bad luck, and I was looking for something, and I found a very cute item. I bought two as a gift for my mother, who didn't have much good luck last year. I will treasure them. Thank you very much.
Message received from Mr. Yoshida of Osaka Prefecture. Purchased item: Seven-colored netsuke for warding off evil spirits. I ordered a strap for warding off evil spirits the other day.
It arrived safely yesterday. Thank you very much! It's just as cute as I expected, I really like it, and I've already put it on my phone. I checked your website yesterday and all the warding off evil spirits products were SOLD OUT, but will they be restocked?
Message received from Mr. Kishi, Tokyo Purchased item: Kuroe Haori
The haori just arrived. I was a little nervous until I saw it in person, but I'm happy that it's a very nice haori. The lining also has a cute pattern. Thank you very much.
Message received from "Mr. Sakamoto" from Saitama Prefecture: Purchased items: Custom-made kimono from Wata-ya, furoshiki obi "Kofuno Yuzen" and others

Message from Mr. Sato, Aomori Prefecture Purchased item: Hanagata Purse (large)
The items I ordered arrived safely. I have confirmed that 42 items were delivered. The texture of the fabric and the color of the metal fittings on the purse are subdued, and the size of the pouch was smaller than I expected, but that also added to the elegant feel. The wrapping was modern and lovely, and the complimentary towel I received had a cute maple leaf pattern. I am grateful for the speedy and kind service. This time I ordered as a gift, but if I have the opportunity, I would definitely buy one for myself as well. Thank you for this purchase.

Message received from "Noda-san" from Hiroshima Prefecture. Product purchased: Kintotoya's accessories/geta sandals
Hello! This is Noda.
I received my items today! Everything was just as cute as I expected, so I'm really glad I made the purchases, thank you! I'm especially happy with the geta, which match the color of the yukata I already have perfectly. Also, thank you for the towel handkerchief gift! It has a Japanese pattern and is really lovely. I'm really looking forward to the new yukata products arriving after the Golden Week holidays in May. Keep up the good work! I'll be visiting your site again★
●Message received from "Mr. Aso" in Tokyo Thank you for the product you purchased: Persimmon-dyed Shingen bag. I have received it. I'm glad you packaged it with such a nice touch. I think it would make a great present. Thank you very much.
Message received from Mr. Sayama of Gunma Prefecture: Product purchased: Parasol
I received a lovely parasol and fabric samples! Thank you very much! This summer, I've decided to wear kimonos and yukatas as much as possible.
A local kimono shop owner told me, "Wearing a kimono in summer is a service to those around you to keep you cool," and I agree. This parasol is perfect for the summer mood! It has a chic and soft impression, and I'm really looking forward to using it! Also, the store's polite and reliable service regarding this transaction made me feel more satisfied than ever. Although I only bought one item this time, I was able to fully enjoy the fun of shopping through the proper communication with the store. Thank you very much.
The sample fabrics are lovely too. I'd love to make a kimono next time. I look forward to working with you then. Unfortunately, some of the thumbnails on your website don't indicate that the items are sold out, so when you open the page you can be disappointed... (I guess this means that good items sell out quickly), and I wish they would stock more obi belts this time of year, such as hemp, tsumugi, and dyed obi belts that would go well with the kimonos in the store. Oh, and please consider making simple and stylish original hemp obi belts!! Sorry for asking so many things. I had a great time shopping with you! First of all, thank you...
Message from Mr. Tomita, Nagano Prefecture. Purchased item: Patchwork cigarette case
Today, I paid for the green cigarette case via Seven-Eleven. I really like it. I've heard that the other colors are already sold out, but if this cigarette case goes on sale again, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you.
Message received from Mr. Nishi, Nara Prefecture. Purchased item: Azumino Cotton Kimono
Hello. I'm Nishi and I ordered a single-colored kimono from Azumino Cotton the other day. The item arrived safely yesterday! Thank you very much! I hadn't actually seen the fabric, so I was a bit nervous, but I really liked the subdued color! Thank you for your kind assistance with my mistake when I ordered the wrong color. There were many other colors available, so I'd like to collect them little by little.
Message received from Mr. Oyamada, Aichi Prefecture. Purchased items: Hikan cotton kimono / Kobu tsumugi haori (lined) / Karasan striped square obi
Thank you very much. The kimono has arrived safely. I haven't worn it yet because I'm in between work, but I'm very happy with how nice it is. I'll post a picture of me wearing it on the message board. Thank you very much. Also, it came with a Musou haori cord, but I think that was mixed in by mistake. Would it be okay if I sent it to you? I love cotton kimonos. Thank you again.
●Message from Mr. Sayama of Gunma Prefecture (2)
Purchased item: Antique tsumugi kimono (single layer) and Antique tsumugi haori (lined)
Thank you for calling me the other day to let me know about the length. This is Sayama from Gunma (^^) I just received the kimono and haori. They are softer than I expected, easier to handle, and very comfortable to wear! I am very very satisfied♪ I am also very happy that they were completed earlier than expected! And also, the haori strings and dog ornaments are cute! Thank you for all your thoughtful consideration. I was able to make a very pleasant and satisfying purchase. I would definitely like to use your services again♪
Since I live far away, I look forward to seeing your website updates and new products. Keep up the good work♪ First of all, thank you... I'm so happy, I've decided to go to Asakusa with my husband on Monday (*^_^*)*As for the length, it seems a little long, as you said. I've had several pieces tailored so far, so this time I know the measurements that suit me perfectly. In fact, about 4'2" might be just right. Thank you for your advice, I'll go with that length from now on.
Message received from Mr. Tonosaki, Saitama Prefecture. Purchased item: Persimmon dyed shoulder bag
I received the product today. I also paid at Seven-Eleven, so I'd like to let you know. It's a lovely bag and I really like it. Thank you for the free handkerchief, even though it was a hassle. I'll treasure it and use it every day! Thank you. Well then.
●Message received from "Tawara Tsumita-san" in Kagoshima PrefecturePurchased items: Various cut cloth from Wata-ya fabricHello. I'm sorry for the delay. I completed the payment this afternoon. The Azumino cotton and the old tsumugi pongee were very good. I look forward to working with you again.
Message from Mr. Sudo of Kanagawa Prefecture (2)
Purchased item: Sumi-dyed fabric No. 78
The ink-dyed cloth arrived the day before yesterday. I hung it up as is, and it looks really nice. Cotton is really good after all... I wear kimonos occasionally, but I mostly use cheap recycled products. But looking at the cloth I've used as a partition, I'm thinking that one day I'll order a kimono made of ink-dyed cotton like this one... I'm thinking again. If it was a kimono made of fabric like this, I'd really want to wear it on an everyday basis. Once I have all the necessities I need from recycled kimonos and have some money to spend on everyday kimonos, I'd definitely like to order one from you. I look forward to your help at that time. Thank you in advance.
●Message received from "Handa-san" in Kanagawa PrefecturePurchased item: Wataya custom-made kimono (cotton pongee)I am very grateful that you completed this wonderful kimono so quickly.I am currently thinking about where I should wear it (@^^)Please let me come and visit you again.Thank you very much.
