Regarding the Artist whose creation is features on these socks, Shisamu Iwase:
Iwase was born in Osaka in 1981, and as his father enjoyed painting and sculpture as a hobby, Iwase began drawing at an early age. In 1999, he began his career as an illustrator. Influenced by lowbrow art and rock music, he worked on flyer designs for indie bands and apparel shops.
Around 2007, he became very interested in pop art from earlier eras, including Japanese classical paintings, ukiyo-e, and signage and advertisements from the mid-Edo to Showa periods.
Using the ukiyo-e style as a foundation, he incorporates elements from classical calligraphy, manga, and contemporary art into his work. His concept for his creations is “bringing the air of the past into the present,” aiming to harmonize traditional painting styles with the modern era and explore new possibilities.
His past work spans a wide range, from store signage and corporate advertisements to traditional crafts designs, votive illustrations, apparel design, and TV commercials. He is known for the “Ukiyo-e Salaryman Series,” which depicts modern society through the ukiyo-e style.
In 2018, he was responsible for the main visuals for the PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN × HIROFUMI KIYONAGA capsule collection, sold across Japan through EDIFICE.
In 2019, HARE presented its Spring/Summer 2020 collection at Rakuten Fashion Week TOKYO, featuring the collaboration graphic “HARE × Ukiyoemon.” Since 2019, he has been designing advertisements for iichikoUSA.
In 2020, as part of an adidas Japan project, he designed the first jerseys for the Toyota Verblitz, NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes, RICOH BlackRams, Suntory Sungoliath, and Kobelco Steelers participating in the JAPAN RUGBY TOP LEAGUE.
In 2022, he founded A DESIGN LAB, beginning activities aimed at the “Reconstruction of Tradition” in Japanese art.

ABOUT MATERIAL COMPOSITION
ABOUT MATERIAL COMPOSITION
Most vintage and antique kimono and haori do not have fabric composition labels. These garments were custom-tailored for individual clients, and the material details were rarely recorded directly on the garment.
Today, only mass-produced kimono sold in major retail stores include such tags. Traditionally tailored kimono—even those made in recent decades—usually do not have any sewn-in fabric composition labels.
As a result, determining the exact composition of vintage fabrics is not always possible. Based on my experience as a licensed antique art dealer and upcycling artist, I examine the fabric using visual texture, burn tests, and the known age of the kimono to make an educated guess.
If I’m confident it is 100% silk, I will label it as such.
If the fabric shows characteristics of mixed fibers or modern synthetics, I will label it as “silk & more.”
Please understand that:
I do my best to make careful judgments, but these are not lab-certified.
If you require an exact determination, I recommend using a fabric testing service in your country.
Many kimono are hand-sewn by specialized Japanese artisans called “wasai-shi”. In rural Japan, it was common during the post-war years for farmers to sew kimono during winter months for clients in cities like Kyoto or Tokyo.
I continue this tradition by giving new life to these beautiful garments. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Let customers speak for us
I love my new kimono. It is beautifully made and so easy to wear. Thank youl
Fantastic quality antique kimono in beautiful condition.
This "Fuji-San" Haori is an absolutely perfect piece. I will be using it for my wedding and I could not be more excited to have this. Machiko not only provide great quality pieces but the service and care provided far exceed the cost. The Haori was beautifully packaged, came with a beautiful note and with a Haori-Himo which perfectly matches the colours in the design. I could not be happier with the decision I made to order this piece, there could not be a better piece to honour my Fiance's family and her heritage.
Thank you again Machiko, and all the best!
Today I received my kimono "sha, ryusui" ... and how beautiful it is ... what also surprised me was the way it was packed ... beautiful, a handwritten message and a beautifully folded geisha-like something ... a lot of attention was paid to even a storage packaging for the kimono ... but the kimono itself looked beautiful ... I am from the Netherlands and am elderly ... and yet it fit ... if I get the opportunity to order one again in the future then I know I'll do it at machiko...thank you very much.
Absolutely love these beautiful socks!
These socks are truly a work of art. The floral motif is beautifully designed and it adds a special touch when wearing a skirt or a dress.
I was equally impressed by Machiko. She was attentive and ensured that my order arrived safely. The socks were beautifully packaged with a personal message .
I could not be happier with my purchase - thank you Machiko. ❤️
Wearing it is very simple: it’s not an overly flashy kimono and pairs easily with "Western-style clothing" , remaining discreet yet captivating.
Beautiful kimono, excellent quality.
Great communication.
Highly recommend.
I just received this Haori and I’m extremely happy with it! The fabric is beautiful and has so many small and fine details, and it’s much more beautiful in person. This piece undoubtedly was kept in great care. I will definitely come back in the future :)
The kimono arrived beautifully packaged in a gorgeous kimono box. It was even more lovely than in the photos. The package included a hand written note and other lovely details. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Machiko - I am in love with my vintage shibori haori. It is so beautiful. Awesome Japanese artwork, craftsmanship and swift delivery, wrapped with care and beauty in every detail. I can only recommend this shop.
Learned about Machiko from Instagram. Went on a Japan trip last month. Found one of her stockist in Tokyo and bought one of Machiko's items (horai?) Wife loved it so much she bought another one, too. Then the next morning while looking at the IG page immediately bought a third item that just got advertised. She loves the clothes and especially Machiko. The experience in the ordered item being shipped back to USA was excellent. A truly great offering and service.
It is so beautiful in person. Great material. Can’t wait to wear it on my night out!!
In love with this garment its absolutely stunning and in great condition, I will cherish it forever🫶🏽
So impressed with the quality, craftsmanship of the up-cycling, and beauty of the two Kimonos I purchased. They are truly amazing and I give the highest praise Machiko Kimono and recommend anyone looking for a work of wearable art to treasure to explore Machiko website. The packaging was incredible. Opening the box and finding the care in which they were sent to me truly touched my soul. As someone who values fabric I was so impressed. Thank you for sharing a part of your culture!
