Collection Concept:
'Beauty is living as myself.'
At the root of Junichi Nakahara's style and philosophy is the attitude of 'living as myself,' sticking to one's own aesthetics without being swayed by surroundings.
That sense of beauty, which combines a strong will of 'how I want to be' with kindness, continues to attract the hearts of many without fading across eras.
Kimono Yamato, as a bridge connecting that thought to the modern age, proposes a collection of yukata, obi, and accessories that allows you to affirm your own beauty by wearing them.
Features of the Collection:
■ Reproduction and modern arrangement based on Junichi Nakahara's works
We carefully deciphered the atmosphere and thoughts from the original drawings and materials of the time, and developed a yukata reproduced in a form that stays close to modern sensibilities. It is a collection where retro charm and novelty coexist.
