Just add one, the fashion of Kimono outfits soars! Japanese shop in Kyoto
The number of people who have come to Kyoto has been increasing in autumn. Also, when there are many sunny days and the weather is nice, it is also a good day to go out in kimono. When you go out with a rental kimono or your own kimono, the usual kimono will be enhanced by arranging a few accessories such as hair ornaments and bags.
So this time, we will carefully select and introduce popular Japanese goods stores in Kyoto!
If you want to dress up in a kimono, your hair ornament “Oharibako”
If you want to improve your kimono outfit, add your favorite hair ornament.There is a Japanese general store “Oharibako” in a scenic area near Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto.
Ohariba is famous for its “knobwork” hair ornaments.All the handcrafts made by skilled craftsmen are delicate and cute.A kimono for everyday wear can be gorgeous at a stroke if there is one knob.
If it is a gorgeous kimono with an antique style, the hair ornaments will be pretty, too, and if it is a simple kimono, it is easy to balance if it is a small one.
In addition, “Oharibako” also has a knobwork experience class.It is also a good idea to incorporate the completed decorations into your kimono outfit by incorporating them into your travel schedule.
The purse using old cloth is perfect for kimono! Matsuhiro store
Matsuhiro Shoten, which had long wholesale sales of purses.It is now known as a store that sells wallets and bags.
Matsuhiro store has two main attractions.
First of all, there are so many kinds! There are many types of coins that are often seen as coin purses, from small ones that fit a 500-yen coin to a size like a pochette that can be lowered from the shoulder.There are also a lot of unusual shapes, from long and narrow ones that can be used as pen cases and ones that can be used as business card holders.
I have a business card holder, but it’s a favorite so that I can use it for more than 10 years.
Second, variations in the type of fabric.A variety of delicate crepe materials using old kimonos and contemporary fabrics in Scandinavian style.In particular, there are no two items that use old cloth, so it seems that you are looking for treasure, and you can enjoy even the time you are shopping.
In addition to the Sanjo Main Store, which is close to the city, there are Kami Shichiken stores near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.
“SOU / SOU” featuring a fusion of Japanese and Western textiles
SOU / SOU is popular for basement socks, clothes and miscellaneous goods using unique and original textiles.In particular, the underground socks are unique in Japan and are comfortable to wear, and now there are many foreign fans.
In addition to basement socks, Ise cotton is a traditional Mie prefecture cloth, and it also features the importance of high-quality materials and technology in Japan without being particular about Kyoto.
And after all, the colorful textiles by designer Katsuji Wakisaka attracts attention.There are also Japanese-style motifs such as chrysanthemums and pine, but people who are fascinated by designs that seem to be somewhere in Scandinavian style and that transcend Japanese and Western styles will continue.
You can also tailor kimonos at SOU / SOU, but how about a bag or furoshiki if you use small items?
If it has a colorful pattern, a little bit of a kimono like a mother’s fall will be gorgeous.
The shop is located a little inside “Shinkyogoku-dori”, where many school trip students visit.The area where stores are divided into basement socks, clothes and bags is also known as “SOU / SOU village”.If you take a look around, you can forget time and enjoy it.
It’s fun to polish your kimono outfit while enjoying walking around the city!
Kyoto has its roots in kimono culture.If you want to go sightseeing in kimono, you can enjoy even more by visiting the store from the perspective of “What suits your current outfit?” It’s definitely fun to make an ideal kimono style from small items!
A writer living in Kansai. I like vintage fashion, and as an extension of it, enjoy kimono as everyday wear. I particularly like antique kimonos in the early Showa era where there are many bold colors. Because he was an editor / writer for Kyoto guidebooks and information magazines, he is also familiar with Kyoto\\\'s culture and gourmet.
