How Each Shirt Comes to Life

1

From Japan to My Studio

Authentic vintage kimono are carefully sourced in Japan and selected for their craftsmanship, condition, and beauty before being brought to my studio in the United States.

2

Gentle Cleaning & Fabric Inspection

Each kimono is gently cleaned and thoroughly inspected for color bleeding, damage, and fabric integrity before moving forward.

3

Low-Temperature Pressing

The fabric is carefully pressed at a low temperature to preserve its delicate fibers while restoring its natural structure.

4

Precision Cutting

Each piece is individually measured and cut so the most beautiful parts of the kimono pattern are highlighted in the pocket design.

5

Reinforcement for Durability

A lightweight interfacing is applied to strengthen the fabric while keeping it soft, stable, and wearable over time.

6

Handcrafted Sewing

Each pocket is carefully sewn onto the T-shirt with precise stitching, ensuring clean alignment and refined finishing.

7

Final Quality Check

Every piece is inspected for stitching quality, pocket placement, and overall finish before it is approved for shipment.

8

Completion

A once-unworn kimono is thoughtfully transformed into a wearable piece, ready to begin its new life with you.

A Memory That Became a Project

From My Family, To What I Create Today

I started this project after noticing something I couldn’t forget. My grandmother’s kimonos were being left behind, not because they lost meaning, but because they no longer had a place to be worn.

That inspired me to transform them into everyday T-shirts, giving them a new way to be lived with and remembered.
