Thank you for having interest.

I deliver handmade goods made by "kimono" under the brand "Nekomame".
("猫豆": it means "Cats and Beans" in Japanese Kanji. I love my cat, she has the name from "beans".)

Do you like "kimono"?
Have you ever wanted to wear a "kimono" more casualy?

"Kimono", a beautiful dress that is a symbol of Japanese traditional culture and attracts the hearts of many people around the world.

The essence of "kimono" is not the shape of a dress. The essence of "kimono" lies in its "cloth fabric".
I wanted to remake those "kimono" as bags and daily necessities so that I could carry them casually.

In modern Japan, the number of people who usually wear "kimono" has decreased.
However, "kimono" are sleeping in the wardrobe of many japanese home, and waiting for opportunities to color people's lives.
I specialized in making clothes at a Japanese clothing school, and I was working on creating design samples for company products.
Now that I've retired, I'm making goods that make my favorite "kimono" feel more familiar.

Using the technique of making clothes as a professional, I make each one carefully and pay attention to the details.

I want to deliver "kimono" to people all over the world, but actually, I really want to mix "kimono" into my life and enjoy "kimono".
If you have any ideas for enjoying "kimono", please share them. Maybe I can create it ;)
