1.Authenticity We
only carry authentic Japanese items. We import the items straight from Japan. You can find fake Japanese Kimono or Yukata (as they call) all over the internet nowadays however, we don't carry them. ***Please note : The term "Authentic" used here includes the items (mostly Yukata and Jinbei) which are made from the Japanese fabric and only patterned in other countries under Japanese director's supervison. High percentage of the Yukatas in the Japanese market today are made this way.
2. Quality We
guarantee the quality and the beauty of our products. We spend time and
effort to find and select the items we believe make customers happy. We also carefully coordinate the matching items for the set items.
3. Affordable Price Japanese
Kimono related products can be very expensive even in Japan. Lots of Japanese import items are often over
priced here in U.S due to the cost and time consumption of import
transaction. (ex. some Japanese magazines are sold 2 or 3 times more
than their retail prices in Japan) A lot of our product prices are much
lower than their actual retail prices in Japan.We try our best to offer a great quality item for an affordable
price.

mail as our shipping method. Therefore, you will be able to receive the
item in 2 to 3days (most U.S cities).

Why buy YUKATA or JINBEI ? YukataandJinbeiare considered asSummer Kimono or Casual Kimono.Therefore, the price of these items is much affordable than other types ofKimono. They are made of cotton and keep you comfortable in the summer. Since they do not require any layers of under garments to wear, they are also easy to wear for someone who is new to the Kimono.Yukataand Jinbeican be worn to fireworks displays, Japanese festivals etc.. or and even worn as a pajama just like how Japanese originally used to do back in a day. Or if you like to collect cultural items from place to place, you may want to have these for your new Asian collection and display these as a decoration. YukataandJinbei have been enjoyed by Japanese people for a long time. The popularity of Yukataand Jinbeiis still growing. More designers for Yukataare emerging. You see more people wearing them on the street today as a fashion trend. We hope that Shimazakura can be the one to introduce you your firstJapanese Yukataor Jinbei !!
