The handpainting production process is a time-honored tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. As this traditional production process is no longer possible, the art form will soon be retired, making these beauties truly the last of a long line of history, inspiration, and timeless techniques.
From start to finish, our Handpainted Silk Collection takes a full 7 days to craft, making it unlike any other silk robe you’ll find. These KIM+ONO designs are first hand-sketched onto 100% silk. Then, talented artisans, who’ve passed down this timeless tradition over generations, paint each one of the sketches by hand, before handpainting the rich watercolor onto the silk background, saturating every inch of the fabric. From these handcrafted techniques come original works of wearable art.
Each kimono robe is truly unique, with minor variations from piece to piece, making each silk robe one of a kind. It will arrive on your (or your gift recipient’s!) doorstep hand-wrapped in our traditional Furoshiki cloth gift-wrapping, for an unboxing experience with intention in every detail.

SYMBOLISM
CHERRY BLOSSOM
The cherry blossom represents renewal. As the flower of the spring, it symbolizes the fleeting nature of life and the botanical embodiment of the idea that “every dawn is a new day”.
CRANE
The crane is a symbol of longevity and peace, and when pictured among florals, a crane stands for prosperity, longevity, and purity.
LOTUS
The lotus is a powerful symbol of enlightenment, the highest form of conscious awareness, and represents inspired self-regeneration and rebirth.
PEACOCK
The peacock stands for immortality — the manifestation of the phoenix rising from the ashes. For us, it also symbolizes love, good will, nurturing, and a kind heart.
