This reiwa nibushiki kimono is made of a vintage silk kimono 

A Nibushiki kimono(two-part kimono / separate kimono) is a kimono with separate upper and lower garments.
It is said to have become popular in the 1980s when staff at Japanese hot spring inns(ONSEN) began wearing them.
The Nibushiki kimono(two-part kimono / separate kimono)  was also introduced as a new form of kimono in a kimono sewing instruction book from the 1970s.

I and  sewing team would like to propose this nibushiki kimono(two-part kimono / separate kimono) for upcycling.

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.
