About Kisaya
It's written as 喜咲屋 and read "kisaya".
The brand name Kisaya was chosen with the hope that "joy bloom."
🔸The Birth of Kisaya Obi🔸
Up until now, I've been making and selling kimono accessories such as obidome and kanzashi, but I've always wondered how I could make wearing kimonos easier. And I thought that one of the reasons people aren't comfortable with kimonos might be the difficulty of tying the obi...
I was wondering if it would be possible to create the perfect obi (sash) that is simple and easy to tie, when one day an idea struck me.
When I brought that idea to life, I was able to create a beautiful and authentic "tunodashi musubi" in a short amount of time!
And so I've come to really want everyone to try out and experience this Kisaya obi.
We have obtained a patent for the kisaya obi and its wearing method (Patent No. 6718031).
The obi is named "Kisaya Obi (Hanhabaobi(
Half-width obi), Hassunobi(Eight-inch obi))".
🔸Kisaya's thoughts🔸
It is Kisaya's greatest pleasure to have people who have already experienced wearing kimonos, as well as those who will experience wearing kimonos for the first time, pick up a "Kisaya obi" and experience its comfort for themselves.
As a result, if Kisaya's obi sashes become a bridge that allows more people to experience the depth of Japanese culture, that may be the true joy that will blossom for us at Kisaya.
