Customer Reviews
Anyone looking to go beyond just a cheaply made cosplay Haori will find themselves at home here. The materials used are silk and the artworks are vintage one of a kind pieces, sometimes from famous artist.
For men the designs traditionally are never on the outside that’s only really in anime you’ll see that. Japanese tradition is that the men’s clothes are simple on the outside. The works are modern renditions made to be worn regularly they also adhere to the parts of Japan ese culture that are special.
You’ll be hard pressed to find such high quality work for these prices. I received everything beautifully wrapped and with an extra apiece of beautiful fabric which I’m using currently for decoration.
Many of these pieces have a history so be sure to ask if there’s any meanings behind the art and the writings on them.
Machiko really does have a passion for keeping this beautiful Japanese tradition thriving.I encourage anyone reading this to not let the prices scare you these are one of a kind and I love my Haori that I ordered. If you love Japanese culture or are learning about it Machiko offers timeless pieces you will enjoy. Even though some may have some slight damage it just adds character, you’ll be hard pressed to find quality like this for these prices anywhere pull the trigger and own a piece of Japanese art that you can wear and be comfortable in.
Let customers speak for us
The haori was in great shape, clean, properly folded. Its box was not damaged. The helpfulness of the reaction time of the vendor was over my expectation. Perfect communication in english.
10/10 would recommend.
Love the color and the craftsmanship and the fact it was cleaned by a professional kimono cleaner. The package came with a lovely note and a stamp of quality control! Great customer service as well.
Amazing customer service, quick shipping, and it arrived absolutely in great condition! If anyone is looking to source quality vintage kimonos or have someone upcycle the gorgeous fabrics, I would 100% recommend Machiko!
So, my first kimono. Machiko sama helped me choose the perfect one according the my climate and purposes. I was going to wear it while travelling (at the airport and train stations), but when I received the package, I realized it would be a waste because kimono is so trendy. It made a splash at work. All the girls wanted to take pictures with me and the guys were jealous :):):).
I recently purchased a traditional Japanese silk kimono, and it’s simply delightful! The silhouette of the kimono is incredibly graceful, with the fabric beautifully accentuating the figure and flowing softly with every movement. The silk has a very pleasant texture, feeling like a gentle touch on the skin. I wore the kimono to a music concert, and it was amazingly comfortable to move and dance in. The flowing shape of the sleeves added a special elegance to every gesture, creating an effect of lightness and smoothness. It was just perfect—not too hot, not too cold—so I could fully enjoy the evening event in complete comfort. I’m very happy with this purchase!🫶🏻🌸💗

I'm so glad I found her page. Everything is so gorgeous but this haori was love at first sight.
Haori is stunning, so soft, feels good on my skin and got many compliments for it. Felt beautiful wearing it.
Love it that I can wear it on both sides. Inside of haori is something else. Gorgeous drawings and pattern.
This review doesn't do justice to this gorgeous haori.
It won't be my last purchase from this store.
Machiko san you made this girl very happy. Arigato gozaimasu!
Communication was great, my kimono was dry cleaned before being sent to me. It came beautifully wrapped and was even more stunning then the pictures.
I ordered this roll of beautiful vintage silk tanmono from Machiko San, and I am so happy that I did! It is a gorgeous woven silk: double-sided. It appears to be woven from kasuri dyed silk threads. One side is deep indigo blue, the other a rich red. There are actually two layers of woven silk, integrated together with wavy lines. I have never seen this style of fabric before, it is very special!
My order arrived in 8 days, shipped from Japan to the US. Machiko San was so good about sending emailed updates and tracking information. The carrier required a signature when it arrived at my house, which I appreciate.
As with many vintage fabrics, this tanmono had an odor to it. I took a chance, after doing some research, and hand washed the fabric instead of dry cleaning. I first hand washed it in cool water using a natural detergent. Next I hand washed it using Synthrapol, which helps remove excess dye. After rinsing, I hand washed one more time using Retayne, which helps keep the dye from bleeding any further. A lot of dye came out of the fabric through the process, but it appears to be exactly the same color now that it is dry, clean, and ironed. I dried it on a clothing rack outdoors in the sunshine, then ironed it using a steam iron. I was lucky that hand washing worked well, and did not change the fabric. Please use your own best judgement, and perhaps wash a small test piece before washing an entire vintage tanmono.
Thank you, Machiko San! I am a happy customer!
