Ginza Wakana

[Ashuan husband] April 1, 2014 14:00

When I work as a tourist guide, there are many customers who want to see the kimono, so even if I walk around the city, I'm worried about kimono and kimono accessories. One of such shops is Ginza 1-chome "Ginza Kazuha".

When I looked into the shop, the label had an English explanation, so I was more and more interested and finally went inside. The first thing I noticed was Japanese shop curtain, who dyed his family crest on Kaga Yuzen dyeing. In Kaga, on the day of the wedding, lucky items is hung at the entrance of the marriage between the Buddhas, and the bride visits the Buddhist altar before coming to the wedding.

And there are obiji, brocades in the forehead, notebooks and ribbons on the cover made in the kimono. In addition, a lot of beautiful kimonos are stored. You can also see kimonos on display on mannequins and kimonos on girders. All of them are beautiful kimonos that foreigners like.

When I visited the shop, it was said that the main thing was to collect old kimonos mainly in the Kansai area and sell them mainly to China, Europe and the United States online. The prices range from pins to sharpness, but they are sold at lower prices than expected. It has already been operating in this area for about seven years, but it is said that it will be relocated to a new office in Nihonbashi soon. This is a shop that I would like to visit with customers from overseas.
