<A Unique Beauty That Brings You Happiness>
The materials for this piece are selected from thousands of kimono fabrics, rich with auspicious patterns, that have been stored away. Each item is meticulously handcrafted with the wish for the happiness of the person who receives it.
<A Japanese Gift>
We utilize kimono fabrics stored away, honoring the local tradition of Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture, where elderly women say, "Do not discard even a scrap of cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." We create items that give form to the beauty and charm held within small pieces of fabric. These are also cherished as gifts to accompany small tokens of appreciation or greetings.
<An Item That Adds Radiance to Your Back>
This hair accessory seamlessly complements kimonos and yukatas, as well as any other attire. It allows the wearer to express their individuality. Beyond being a retro-modern hair accessory, it can also be used as an armband or a book band. It's a convenient item to have in your bag.
<A Symbol of Good Fortune: Auspicious Patterns>
These celebratory patterns are used as symbols of good fortune and are believed to bring happiness. Understanding the meaning of Japanese patterns connects you to the profound depths of Japanese culture passed down through generations.
<Chrysanthemum Pattern (Kiku Mon)> Symbolizes "Longevity," "Wish for Rejuvenation," and "Wish for Health." Chrysanthemums were believed to have anti-aging properties and were used medicinally. They are considered the king of hundred flowers and a symbol of longevity.
<The Joy of Gazing, The Pleasure of Collecting>
The kimono fabrics with their auspicious patterns are a delight to behold, bringing images of happiness just by looking at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery.

<Let's Contribute to Clothing Upcycling Together>
WATALIS has collected and remade over 12 tons of old kimono fabrics.
By choosing our products, kimono fabrics that have been slumbering in closets across the country find new purpose. We continue our activities with gratitude for our customers who help us expand the circle of upcycling.

<Important Notes for Purchase>
* As all items are handmade, please understand that each piece is unique, with slight variations in size, shape, and pattern.
* In rare cases, when we obtain particularly well-preserved kimono fabric, we may create multiple items from the same fabric. Please understand that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric.
* Please note that colors and textures may appear different on screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing.
* As the kimono fabrics used as materials are often used and lack labeling, the exact material may not be identifiable. We thoroughly inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them. Depending on the fabric, some may experience color bleeding or shrinkage when wet, so please handle them with care.
* As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
