“Kimono” is a type of Japanese traditional clothing. Kimono were normally used as everyday wear (from casual to formal) by Japanese people until about 100 years ago.
Kimono have been made from silk, cotton and linen. They are made with superb craftsmanship such as hand-weaving, dyeing, painting, and embroidery, all done by professional fabric craftsmen.
In the past century the number of Japanese people who wear kimono and the number of craftsmen who make them have decreased rapidly. At ArtLink we hope to revive interest in the fabric tradition of kimono by using high-quality Kimono fabric to make silk scarfs and bags.
