An original kimono design inspired by a costume Hamasaki Ayumi wears in one of her music videos.  Our customer was given a choice of fabrics, obi belts, and obi ribbon.  This kimono is trimmed in gold and has its obi bow permanently tied, one only has to attach it onto the belt.

Though we were unable to match the color of Ayumi's kimono (customer herself chose a red kimono fabric instead), twice a year, Naomi visits Japan where there is a much better fabric selection.  Should you decide to order any costume from us, with a particular Japanese fabric or color in mind, we can probably find it for you in Japan.  We also carry in our store, a limited selection of authentic, Japanese obi and kimono fabric where you can choose which one you like best for any creation you have in mind.  Please ask us for details.
