Where can I buy a Japanese kimono in Malaysia?

I live in Spain and I'm looking for a good traditional Japanese kimono. Does anyone know of a shop or sell one? Thanks.

There are no stores that sell kimono know in Spain. The only way to get a real kimono is for the purchase in Japan. That's what I did anyway. But it can provide a measure of sewing for you too. Or visit one of the kimono exhibition is held every year in Penang. Sell kimono shape that will lower costs to high costs. I've been there once was only last year. I think we are in KL too. Usually, an ad in the paper (usually STAR), when an exhibition comes.

Yukata is a category of kimonos. It is a Japanese cotton kimono for the summer season. Yukata is worn by men and Japanese women. Yukata The word comes from "yu" means bath and "Katabira", ie low clothing.

In the early days, the nobles had the Court "yukatabira, a linen kimono. She eventually was used by Japanese warriors. Then, later, became known to the general public. Now, Japanese Yukata is widely used for:

You can simply adjust the belt at the waist and abdomen to the edge. You can also use a belt with cotton Yukata Obi. To complete the outfit, a match with a purse, tabi socks and Japanese sandals.

By using the Obi sash belt, there are instructions to follow on how to tie the belt over the kimono. These are:

2. The extra cloth, more above the waist. Tie the belt in the Koshi-Himo excess material. Cross the belt in the back, then tie on the front.

How do I clean and repair a stained silk kimono age?

The kimono is a very delicate cream / oyster silk, embroidered with pale mauve – Gone wrong – which represents glycine. The edge is severely damaged and disintegrates. It seems to be filled with some kind of wadding, probably cotton. There evidence for the age of kimono. It was found in an attic with some other clothes that are distinctly Victorian. I suspect that the kimono is from 1020's – 1930. There are spots yellow in several areas, especially around the neck. I wonder how to clean stains and restore the damage. I intend to show the kimono on the wall.

Kimonos good as we are talking about are always hand sewn. Traditionally the outer layer of the kimono is made from a single bolt of fabric. The lining and layer additional fill and / or are of different types of silk of different dye colors. To prevent color from running at each other and the seams of wrinkles, takes the kimono quite apart from the room are bathed in turn as the original bolt of cloth and cleaned separately, after the UN-sprayed and sewn back together. An additional advantage to this is if you win or lose a little weight kimono can be adjusted at this time. Also if there are stains on the silk that did not go in cleaning up the area can be re-dyed, or sometimes a pattern is embroidered or dyed in the area to hide the stain. As you can guess this is expensive and is not every time you use. Also unique cleaning I know that doing this in Japan. What worries me is the fact that silk is already disintegrating. Dry cleaning can cause more damage at this point. Stains that have been set to always on silk, probably would not in any way. My advice is that unless you can have professionally restored and no musty smell, not clean. Enjoy it on the patina of time has been gained. To avoid any damage greater than ever, keep it in plastic, wrapped in washi paper or cotton, white and clean storage when hung in a smoke-free cooking oil and odor-free zone, the roof of the rod used to hang with white cotton or silk comforters avoid wrinkles in the top and possible color transfer. One or two moth balls wrapped in silk or cotton may be placed on each sleeve to keep out moths. Also beware of house dust will settle on the top of the shoulders and sleeves when hung, some people put a little white cotton or silk over it to keep it clean.

Where can I find a wedding kimono well as a complete set?

I'm getting married in a year or so, and I've been looking everywhere for the perfect wedding kimono set … I have not found it yet, obviously, all you can find are the individual pieces, but that costs too much. Can anyone help me?

Wedding sets are very rare and likely not complete will be a way to save money. Yamatoku has some occasionally, and had one or two Ichiroya games at one point, but that's all. I really think it will be better to put a whole as well as individual pieces sold by the same vendor (which only have to pay sent once).
