Measurements and Terminology

  • Kimonos offered on this site mainly include custom-order products, pattern-made products, and ready-to-wear kimonos. The size details of each product are shown in the Size Details of the product page. Click the Size Guide within the Size Details to display a pop-up window showing terminology related to measurements.
    * A kimono is prepared using a special cloth measure called kujirajaku, therefore the length described in centimeters is an approximate value.
    * Sometimes the sleeve length described on the site cannot be achieved due to the width of the cloth. In such cases, the sleeve is prepared at the maximum length possible.
