Our family has been running a kimono shop since my grandfather's generation. I travel 3,000 kilometers a month by car, conducting sales activities across Japan. Please feel free to consult us about anything related to Japanese culture. We will make every effort to assist you! With our family's combined strength, please inquire about Japanese clothing, traditional crafts, Japanese cultural experiences, and Kyoto information.

《KOBOZU (Japanese goods, traditional crafts)》

■Kyomono Group Hitoiro (Kyoto traditional crafts)
https://www.kyoto-hitoiro.com/
People involved in Kyoto's traditional crafts connect with each other to form a group of "hitoiro" (one color), creating products that leverage the unique characteristics of each person's work, and proposing a market rich in "hitoiro" (individual colors).

■Kuroki Orimono (Hakata-ori Obi)
https://www.kurokiorimono.com/
We are a Hakata-ori weaving studio with our workshop on the Itoshima Peninsula, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. With the slogan "Weaving Fun," we strive daily to create kimonos and obis that are fashionable. We look forward to connecting with everyone and will be exhibiting from Kyushu.

■Obiya Sutematsu (Nishijin-ori Obi)
http://obiyasutematsu.co.jp/
From classic to modern. Paintings, architecture, folk crafts, or nature. For over 150 years since our establishment, we have expressed all beautiful things from around the world through weaving, sometimes boldly, sometimes delicately. We are a weaving company that constantly pursues modern and uncompromising authenticity. We also offer small items made from obi fabric and designs.

■hibaco (Nishijin-ori Obi)
https://www.instagram.com/hibaco_kyoto/
hibaco is a group of traditional craft creators from Japan, where master weavers from Nishijin and Tango, and dyeing masters from Nagoya, compete and collaborate to create new expressions. The name "hibaco" (firebox) symbolizes shuttles flying out of a box, representing the desire to leverage the individuality of creators and connect the weaving threads of traditional industry history. We carefully weave each thread, putting our hearts into it.

■KIMONO Terrasse (Okayama Denim)
https://kimonoterrasse.com/
Our denim kimonos are characterized by their silken luster and softness. From formal to casual kimonos, they can be custom-ordered. Carefully hand-stitched and washable, our tatami-beri (tatami mat edging), which accounts for 80% of national production, has evolved into original obi unique to Kurashiki. We also have a wide selection of accessories. Enjoy a forward-looking kimono lifestyle.

■Nishijin Obi Minori (Nishijin-ori EC site)
http://obiminori.com/
Nishijin Obi Minori, an EC site directly connected to the Nishijin production area, is making its real-world debut! We will be showcasing kimonos and accessories, not just obis that cannot be seen on the website. We offer total proposals from an obi vendor's perspective.

Their flat design, without nose pads, makes them slim enough to fit into a kimono obi or a long wallet, making them convenient for going out. They are a free-size unisex design that can be used by both men and women, and their lightness makes them feel almost imperceptible when worn.
