Otakaraya Senkawa Ekimae Store to Strengthen Kimono and Traditional Accessory Appraisal Services During Limited Campaign

Otakaraya Senkawa Ekimae Store is launching a limited-time measure to strengthen its appraisal system for kimonos, obis, and traditional Japanese accessories.

This initiative enhances the acceptance of appraisals for all types of kimonos—including visiting kimonos (homongi), long-sleeved kimonos (furisode), formal kimonos (tomesode), small-patterned kimonos (komon), and pongee (tsumugi)—as well as obis and traditional accessories. The goal is to provide more opportunities for customers to confirm the value of items that have been stored in their homes for long periods. This effort aims to create a more approachable consulting environment for traditional items alongside established categories like brand-name goods, precious metals, and luxury watches.

### Campaign Overview During this period, appraisal acceptance will be strengthened for kimonos, obis, and traditional accessories. Professional evaluations will consider storage conditions, materials, craftsmanship (signed pieces), and design aesthetics.

Japanese traditional wear is often stored for long periods, yet judging its value can be difficult for general users due to variations in materials, preservation, tailoring, and the specific artist. This campaign aims to provide a reliable opportunity for consultation before people decide to dispose of these items.

### Background of Implementation In recent years, the frequency of wearing kimonos in daily life has declined due to changes in lifestyle. Conversely, there is an increasing trend of people reviewing long-stored kimonos and obis during estate liquidations, house cleaning, or moving to smaller homes ('seizon seiri').

Furthermore, because of the diversity of traditional items, many users are unsure what can even be appraised. Crossone Co., Ltd., as part of its community-based buying service, decided to strengthen its appraisal system for a limited time to make it easier for customers to consult on these specific needs.

### Implementation Details - Enhanced appraisal acceptance for various kimonos (Homongi, Furisode, Tomesode, Komon, Tsumugi, etc.) - Enhanced response for obis and traditional accessories - Free appraisal services - Consult-only visits are welcome - Over-the-counter purchases available upon agreement

### Period Saturday, April 4, 2026 – Saturday, May 9, 2026

### Future Outlook Crossone Co., Ltd. plans to further strengthen its community-based buying services and enhance appraisal systems tailored to diversifying organization and storage needs. Moving forward, the company will continue to expand consultation opportunities for items that are difficult for the general public to value, based on market trends and customer needs.
