Wafuku

~ wafuku – noun: traditional Japanese clothing ~

I collect wafuku and have a vast selection of Japanese kimonos, onis, haori kimono jackets and much more. I love traditional Japanese things and my home overflows with them. This blog lets me share that interest plus some other topics that take my fancy.

    I just got my haori in the mail. It is gorgeous, even better than I thought it would be! I’m glad you got it to me so fast. I’m really thrilled.
    Best regards, Lise

    I’ve been trying to access your site for a couple of days now. I’m not sure if you are aware but when ever it is clicked on it comes up as “404 URL not found”. I would really like to buy a Han-eri I seen on your site. A red floral one. Do you still have it and could I still buy it?

    Thanks.

    Hello, my name is Hannah Pick and I am the Costume Supervisor for a production of Top Girls at Rose Bruford College. I’m having a bit of difficulty finding a red kimono and hakama to hire or borrow and stubbled across your blog – I wondered if you could possibly offer any advise or point me in the right direction? Thank you so much, I love your blog and really appreciate your time.

      Hi;
      I’m afraid I don’t know anywhere outside Japan that hires Japanese clothing

    Seems we have a lot in common, as in hundreds, maybe thousands of kimonos and related items… ! We should get in touch, you can find me on fb. You have a great blog.
    By the way, I thought I should let you know that the public toilet instructions you posted are in Korean, not Japanese.
    Hope to hear from you and all the best.

      I used to have a Wafuku Facebook page but don’t now. I may start it up again but it just tended to repeat some of what was on this blog.

      I see you are another kimono addict. It’s amazing that a thing like kimonos can become so addictive.

      Thanks for the note about the Korean sign. I removed it from the post, since it wasn’t Japanese. I hadn’t noticed, just found it on another site that said it was Japanese.

      Oddly, your Facebook link here seems to point to an advert of expensive loans. When I mouse over it, the page showing that is displayed here, so I didn’t click on it.

Wafuku

This Wafuku blog is about Japanese kimonos, other traditional Japanese clothing and anything else, Japanese or otherwise, that tickles my fancy. Wafuku means traditional Japanese clothing, as opposed to more western-world clothing, which is called yofuku.
