Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a kimono will fit me?
Height: Length (身丈) ≈ your height ±5 cm (you adjust length with the ohashori fold).
Yuki (裄): Neck center → wrist bone. The kimono’s yuki should be close (±2 cm usually fine).
Body width: Maehaba (front) + Ushirohaba (back). As a rough guide, this total should exceed half your hip circumference for good overlap.

Komon: All-over small pattern; casual to smart-casual.
Iromuji: Solid color; versatile/tea practice; semi-formal.

How to reduce vintage odors?
