PRODUCT CARE

Washing your kimono/yukata/happi coat

  • Each of our new garments has its own label with care guidelines which we recommend you follow. The majority of our new cotton/polyester garments can be washed by machine. The kimono/happi coats with embroidered designs (including our Zen and Namiryu) we recommend you wash only by hand.
  • For cleaning of our second-hand silk furisode we suggest you seek specialist advice.

Recommendations for caring for your gilt and lacquerware products

  • Avoid soaking over a long period as it can soften and damage the wood over serveral uses.
  • Avoid using boiling water as the colour may fade.
  • Avoid scrubbing as this may scratch the surface.

2. Heating

  • Avoid using in ovens or microwaves.
  • Avoid direct heat.

3. Storage

  • Please store in a well ventilated area.
  • Avoid keeping directly under the sunlight over a long period of time as the surface may start to peel.
