Kimono is also fashion

Clothing adds color to everyday life. Simply wearing a kimono transforms an ordinary day into a special one. Let's go out wearing a kimono.

More's Kimono Dressing: Pursuing Simplicity

More's kimono dressing method is beautiful and comfortable to wear. Moa's dressing technique doesn't use an obi cord. The obi sash isn't tied, nor is it held in place with a temporary cord. It's a method that allows you to showcase the desired pattern properly. While beautiful is a given, we pursue simplicity and comfort above all else.

Why not enjoy wearing kimono freely?

After learning the fundamentals properly, we incorporate fashionable elements while teaching lessons with the motto “freely enjoying kimono as everyday wear.” You'll make kimono friends while attending Moa's Kimono Class!
