Our Gebako is now new design.

We added new item. Makimono.
In old period in Japan, we wrote messages and notes in a paper roll. As you might know, vertically written was common. When you mistook , tear the paper where you mistook and join the white new place.

The above Makimono roll is just like Missho or something written in secret or something very important.

We wish you enjoy shopping at BOKUNAN-DO.

We added new Jin-Baori. Jin-Baori is a vest worn on Yoroi-Kabuto. Recently we can see coordination with Hakama style too.

Do you know why Japanese loves the hexagons  pattern and often used for Jin-Baori?
Because, the hexagon is wishes for enlightenment of power to all direction. This pattern is called "KIKKOU", Turtle's shell. Turtle is also popular motif in Japan as longevity.


We hope you will enjoy our line-ups, even just looking them.

Yoshichou is the name of Edo-city. There are many inns,  Oiran (Edo prostitute) brothels.

Currently, the name of this city, Yoshichou is used for many traditional things such as Geta and Kanzashi.

 

The Kushi (left) comb is use on your head  top as crown. Kougai (right one in the right picture) the stick is as well. The two stick Kanzashi (Two left ones in the right picture) is called MATSUBA, needle of pine tree because of the forks. These Matsuba Kanzashi is used at the side of head.But of course you can use anywhere you like!

The colour of this yellow is called "RANKOU", which is written as egg turtle-shell. This colour is just like the egg's yolk.

Less expensive Yukata Yellow are coming

Dear Readers, 

New Less Expensive Yukata has just arrived!!

The Yukata is for summer wear. So we have many summer motives on Yukata. However, recently we have various motives for them. Such as rose (this is Spring flower), Sakura (Spring too)...

The featured one below has bell flower. (or Kikyou) and dragonfly.

It is sometime very difficult to identify the flowers. Because some designers draw them fuzzy on purpose. As the flower is a symbol of season. So if the Kimono has the specified ones, the season (or month or sometime weeks) are very narrowed. If you are able to choice these seasonal Kimono or Yukata, it is very luxury.

Dear Readers,

We added bargain items.

High quality Han-Juban set (Colours:  Pink or Green) .

Ready made , ready to ship.

Ground fabric has pattern woven. (Sakura Cherry blossoms or irregular dots.)
Both neutral colours are very easy to go with any colors of Kimono, we believe.

The rainbow colours is a kind of a protective symbols. These colours have meanings of directions and its protection.


BOKUNAN-DO

We finally have ready made LL of the casual Kimono set (with Haori).
The Kimono of this photo is "Kikkou patterned". Kikkou = Turtle's shell. This pattern shows gathering and lining of hexagons, just like a turtles shell of his back. 


Turtle reminds us "longevity". The repeated pattern is just like a symbol of your power Enlightenment.




We have solid dark blue one in same series.

New Koiguchi Shirts!! 

We added 6 new designs.  New Koiguchi Shirts has size 3L for ladies too. (Actually they are all for unisex though)

Koiguchi Shirts means literary Carp- Mouth shirts. The sleeve's shape is just like a carp and his mouth open. This is compared to Kimono's sleeve. We assume this was very good shocking design for Edo people.


We will be looking forward to serving you the new Koiguchi, everyone!
