【TRIVIA】

How to choose a kimono and an obi belt
They say Kimono varies in combination with obi. The atmosphere of the outfit will change completely with a different kimono and obi belt combination. Even with the same kimono, with changing the obi belt you will have a wide range of outfit coordinates, formal as well as casual. It may sound difficult but if you know the general rules it will be okay. When in doubt, please ask the professional staff with a lot of experience for advice.
