A STORY
Risa Sato
Designer
Due to its ceremonial nature, the kimono is typically reserved for special occasions and may spend most of its time stored on a shelf, resulting in many being damaged and disposed of in Japan.
Recognizing the critical nature of this issue, Risa, based in London, created The Obi, KYOTO to restore and preserve the beauty of Japanese Kimono culture.
This initiative aims to make kimonos more accessible for daily wear, integrating them into people's everyday lives.
