KUSUDAMA

On this vintage kimono coat, the patterns of the flower bouquet were carefully handwoven to the silk fabric, then, the rest of the Kimono was dyed with the SHIBORI method.

HIKITA SHIBORI is one of the oldest and special methods of tie-dying which has been practiced longer than 1800 years. This technique is important to the preservation of Japanese culture.

This custom made kimono is known to bring protection, strength, and the celebration of a good start in life. The red color is an amulet to ward off all evil spirits and combined with white, it is conventionally used for a celebration.
