Looking for Men’s Summer Kimono or Yukata in Tokyo?
2026年07月10日
As the weather gets hotter, summer becomes one of our busiest seasons. Many customers visit our shop looking for men’s yukata and summer kimono.
In general, there are two common choices:
buying a ready-made yukata, or having a summer kimono or yukata custom-made from a fabric roll to fit your size.
At Takemoto, we also offer a third option.
In addition to custom tailoring, we have a small selection of ready-to-wear summer kimono and men’s yukata that were individually tailored from kimono fabric rolls.
These are not mass-produced garments made by large manufacturers. Each piece has been carefully created from selected fabrics and tailored one by one by our shop.
Because we are a small independent store, we only produce a limited number of these garments each season. However, they are a great choice for customers who want high-quality materials and a proper fit without waiting for custom tailoring.

The outfit shown in the photos features a summer kimono made from 100% Ojiya Chijimi linen, paired with a lightweight monsha (transparent woven silk) haori featuring a subtle shaded pattern. We coordinated the outfit in refreshing shades of blue for a cool summer look.
Although the number is limited, we also offer a selection of these carefully tailored ready-to-wear garments.
Whether you are looking for a custom-made piece, a ready-to-wear yukata, or something in between, we offer a variety of options for men’s summer traditional wear.
We hope this article helps you find the right style for your summer in Tokyo.

At the same time, we also carry ready-to-wear men’s kimono, haori coats, and yukata that can be worn immediately if the size fits.

Black Men’s Kimono Are Popular with Overseas Customers
2025年12月21日
At my shop, black men’s kimono are often chosen by overseas customers.
Black kimono tend to be seen as “cool,” with images of samurai or warriors—especially by visitors from abroad. In practice, many people simply choose black or dark navy.
We Recommend Styling with Black as the Base
Black is easy to coordinate. Using black as the base, you can add color with an obi or haori himo, or pair it with a gray-toned haori. Of course, a black kimono with a black haori is also a clean and cool combination.

About Black Kimono and Black Haori
Because black is often chosen, we try to keep black kimono and black haori in stock as much as possible. We also carry ready-to-wear kimono and haori, so it’s easy to choose a proper men’s kimono set here.
Men’s Kimono for Tea Ceremony – Customers Who Visit Us from Overseas
2025年12月02日
A customer living in California visited our shop
Recently a customer who lives in California visited our shop.
She is Japanese, and her husband is American. They practice tea ceremony(sado) together in the U.S.
As we talked, she told me that the number of people practicing tea ceremony in America is gradually increasing.
She came to Japan this time hoping to find a kimono and haori coat for her husband’s tea ceremony, so she first looked around several department stores. However, she said there were very few suitable items, and the ones she did find were very expensive. That is how she eventually ended up at our shop.
Through a video call with her husband, we chose a kimono fabric and a haori fabric for him.
We did not take care of the tailoring this time – she purchased the bolts of fabric and took them back to the U.S. as they were.

The fabrics in the photo are part of the pure-silk kimono line that I usually recommend for tea ceremony.
The price of each bolt is JPY 110,000 (roughly several hundred US dollars, depending on the exchange rate).
People who practice tea ceremony, even overseas, often follow a similar path: they first start with a polyester kimono, then gradually feel like “I’d like to try wearing silk as well.” When they come to Japan, they look for a place where they can buy a proper men’s kimono, and some of them find their way to our shop.
It makes me feel that men’s kimono for tea ceremony is spreading not only within Japan, but also quietly around the world.
Another customer from California
We also had another couple visit us who are living in California.
In this case, the husband ordered a full tea-ceremony outfit:
a men’s kimono and a pure-silk haori coat.
For this couple we are taking care of the tailoring at our shop. The finished items will be ready around January, and they plan to pick everything up the next time they come to Japan.
We do not ship overseas or sell online
Our shop does not offer overseas shipping or online sales.
However, for customers living abroad, there are still a few ways to enjoy a proper pure-silk men’s kimono from our shop:
〇 Place an order when you visit Japan, and pick it up at the shop on your next trip.
〇 Use a domestic delivery / forwarding service to send the finished kimono to an address in Japan.
〇 Ask a friend or acquaintance in Japan to receive the parcel for you.
With a little bit of planning, it is possible to have a men’s kimono for tea ceremony tailored in pure silk, even if you are living overseas.
I hope this article can be a reference for anyone living outside Japan who would like to wear a proper men’s kimono for tea ceremony.
Why Many Overseas Men Are Drawn to Samurai Style| Samurai・Ronin・Bushido・Ninja and Men’s Kimono
2025年11月15日
Over the past few years, the number of overseas customers visiting Japan has been steadily increasing.
Among men who choose men’s kimono, some naturally mention the word “Samurai.”
“I feel like Samurai.”
“This looks like Ronin style.”
“Bushido… cool!”
I often hear these kinds of reactions.
Why are many overseas men fascinated by Samurai aesthetics?
And why does men’s kimono so easily connect with the idea of “Samurai Style”?
Today, I will explain the reasons in a simple way.
Why Overseas Men Admire Samurai (Samurai)
Bushido = Sincerity, Quiet Strength, “Japanese Spirit”
Overseas, Bushido (the way of the warrior) is often understood as a symbol of
honesty, discipline, calm strength,
and the traditional spirit of Japan.
Ronin = Freedom, Minimalism, Lone-Wolf Image
The image of Ronin (masterless Samurai)—
freedom, independence, minimalism—
is also popular around the world.
Movies, Anime, and Games Spread Samurai Culture Globally
Words like Samurai / Ninja / Katana have spread worldwide through
movies, anime, and video games,
which also strengthens the global fascination.
Why Men’s Kimono Connects with “Samurai Style”
Men’s kimono has a straight, simple silhouette.
Dark colors—black, navy, brown—match the global image of “Samurai colors.”
As a result, men’s kimono easily overlaps the image many overseas men have.
Haori = Ronin Vibe
A Haori (kimono jacket) is often called a “Japanese Jacket” overseas.
Wearing a Haori over kimono can create a relaxed, Ronin-like silhouette.
Hakama = Authentic Samurai Style
Adding Hakama immediately brings the look closer to a traditional Samurai warrior.
• Haori → Ronin atmosphere
• Hakama → Traditional Samurai
This makes the image very easy to understand for overseas customers.
For a Light Samurai Experience (Souvenir Style)
→ Men’s Kimono Takemoto – Ginza Icchome Store
Some overseas customers say,
“I want to try a light Samurai Style outfit quickly.”
For customers who want a casual or souvenir-like style,
the Ginza Icchome store (ready-made items) is a good match.
https://takemoto.tokyo/ginza1chome/
For Authentic Samurai Style & Quality Materials
→ Men’s Kimono Takemoto (Main Store)
On the other hand, customers who say:
• “I want real silk.”
• “I want a quiet, dignified Samurai mood.”
• “I want to complete Haori and Hakama properly.”
• “I want to order a tailor-made set.”
These customers are best suited for the Main Store.
The Main Store carries colors and materials that match the aesthetics of Samurai Style.

Conclusion|Men’s Kimono is Today’s “Modern Samurai Style”
Overseas men strongly admire Japanese warrior aesthetics such as
Samurai, Ronin, Bushido, Ninja.
Men’s kimono is one of the best ways to express that aesthetic in a modern form.
• For light, casual Samurai Style → Ginza Icchome Store
• For authentic Samurai aesthetics → Main Store
Please feel free to choose based on your purpose and style.
