About our store
The Tokyo-based kimono brand YAMATO

The brand concept is
“Exploring the world through Kimono”.
With KIMONO ARCH,
we dream of becoming a bridge
that weaves together unique personalities
and cultures from all over the world.
Like an ‘arch’ connecting Japan and the world,
kimono and people,
we invite you to discover new and unseen wonders.
With the concept of a
“bespoke kimono tailoring brand,”
we offer an extraordinary experience
where tradition and innovation merge,
free from conventional boundaries of kimono.
By collaborating with artisans and textile producers
from various regions in Japan and abroad,
we create garments that expand the
possibilities of kimono,
incorporating new elements and techniques.
YAMATO
We, ‘’Yamato,’’ are a kimono specialty store
founded in 1917 in Japan.
Our vision, ‘’KIMONO DREAM MAKERS,’’
embodies our desire to create
an exciting world through kimonos.
