A portion of the profit from the sale of this product will be donated to the Red Cross. War is a multi-generational tragedy that must never happen again. We Japanese have deep regrets over our shameful part in the history of war. For those who see opportunities in war and armed conflict , please understand the history of Japan's wartime generations. We currently are a generation that has never known war, yet Japan itself still in the postwar period.

I would like to offer my heartfelt apologies to all those whom Japan has caused to suffer as a result of war. My grandfather, who returned from the war, suffered from PTSD until his death, and as my grandmother was with him all those year, she too suffered deeply. Our lives are short, and I want to do what I can to ensure that the generations who will succeed us do not just survive, but are able to live in a happier, more peaceful world.

 

Genuine vintage Japanese kimono. This HAORI is called a “KUROMONTSUKI HAORI” in Japan. It used to be worn as a first formal wear for young Japanese men.

This is a one of a kind vintage piece that I carefully handpicked, and that I was very happy to find in such great condition given the age of the garment.
