This EDO-ZUMA SKIRT is made from a vintage silk kimono.
My sewing team and I are pleased to propose this EDO-ZUMA SKIRT as an upcycled piece.
It is hand-sewn by our sewing team, led by a Certified Master-Class Kimono Dressmaker (Ikkyū Wasaishi / 一級和裁士) in Yamagata, Japan.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece. I carefully handpicked this kimono, which is in very good condition for a vintage garment.

〈About the Gold Decoration〉
Various gold decoration techniques were used at the time this kimono was made, and due to the nature of vintage textiles, the original techniques and materials cannot be identified.
When storing the garment, please avoid folding the gold-decorated areas against each other or leaving them in prolonged contact with other fabrics, as the gold may stick or peel over time.
〈About the Hiyoku Lining Removal〉
This skirt has been upcycled from a vintage black tomesode kimono. The hiyoku — a ceremonial inner lining panel traditionally sewn inside formal kimono — was removed during the upcycling process, so faint stitch marks may remain along the interior seams.
Professional cleaning before shipment may make these marks less visible, but some traces may still remain. We appreciate your understanding that this is part of what makes each piece one of a kind.
〈About Kote (Tailor's Iron) Marks on the Obi Belt〉
The obi belt of this skirt is made from repurposed fabric of the original kimono. In traditional kimono tailoring, a small iron called a kote is used to mark sewing positions on the fabric. Because of this, faint scorch-like kote marks, originally hidden inside the garment, may appear on the visible surface of the obi belt.
These marks are an inherent characteristic of upcycled kimono pieces, and we appreciate your understanding that they are part of the story each garment carries.
[Packing] Shipped in a special MACHIKO KIMONO kimono box.
*As all of our pieces are made by partially or fully disassembling the original kimono, there may be stains or slight damage common to vintage fabrics. Thank you for your understanding.

Let customers speak for us
from 127 reviewsI love it. It arrived packaged well and with care.
The piece itself is extremely beautiful and well made. I tried it on and it fit perfectly and my family and friends love it & I can style it different ways.
Thank you Machiko, I will definitely order more in the future.
Been trying to get my hands on one of these and it is AMAZING!! LOVE!
The shipping time was perfect, and I was so touched by the thoughtful, beautifully prepared packaging and the heartfelt note.
The fabric is absolutely beautiful, and the design is truly breathtaking.
Buy it now! You won’t regret it.!!
This skirt looks more beautiful than in the photos, and so well put together!
The Kimono looks and feels beautiful, and the packaging makes it an ideal gift (to self, or someone else). Great service and response time, very clear on what to expect - even reached out before sending the kimono when the fabric was different from described, to make sure I was happy moving forward. Would 100% buy again from this shop!
Meraviglioso! Di presenza il mio haori è ancora più bello e raffinato. Ho acquistato un'opera d'arte capace di emozionarmi solo al tatto. La confezione rispecchia le sapienti mani giapponesi. Grazie Machiko, non vedo l'ora di comprare altri capolavori.
Hello, I'm delighted with the experience. The haori is beautiful, and the packaging was lovely. Everything arrived in perfect condition.
Thank you so much, it's been a pleasure.
Absolutely stunning and unique piece. Will definitely be adding more
To my wardrobe!
Beautiful material and beautifully made. Arrived quickly. Wrapped with care, lovely!
I've always loved the beauty of kimono fabric, so I've bought nearly 10 kimono jackets (Haori羽織). This is my first time buying an upcycled
Furisode振袖, and it's absolutely dreamy. The weather in Taiwan is still too hot right now, but I'll wear it out on dates with friends once it cools down a bit! Thank you so much for your upcycling work, and it allows us foreigners to also experience the beauty of kimonos!
I ordered for my wife. Not only she was thrilled, but so was I. I have never seen such amazing attention to detail, care and love in a product. I was truly moved by this work of art. The incredible care with which the kimono was wrapped... And the kimono itself, absolutely amazing! We enjoyed it wonderfully.
“expectations met”. that would not be a fair statement. yes, the object of desire was precisely as promoted. but upon receipt there was a personalised message in a beautiful box. the feeling of being part of really good venture. upcycling. such joy! a meaningful purchase.
yet the most rewarding was to see my wife wearing it, enjoying it.
Everything about shopping with Machiko Komono was great. From the thoughtful packaging, personal letter, the fit and the quality of the skirt, all of it was so well crafted. I have already recommended this site to friends who saw my skirt.
I love my skirt so much and thank you for providing me a lovely experience. I cannot recommend enough
From the speed of shipping to the absolutely beautiful packaging of the haori, I am exceptionally impressed at the quality! The haori itself is more beautiful and finely tailored into its newer form (as purchased) that was imaged. When I opened the package and touched the material itself, I knew it was going to be a very special piece I would FIND occasions to wear it to. I will be purchasing from Machiko Kimono in the future knowing I will get a beautiful item!
Excellent quality fabric and craftmanship! Very happy with my sheer Kimono, I got it for my mom and she was beyond happy with it
