KIMONO HOUSE - NEW YORK

Happy New Year to all! In Japan, one of the few days a full-time worker will get time off is New Years. People who have moved away from home for work take this time to go back to their family homes to spend December 31 to January 4 with their families. This year, because of covid-19, many people were not able to do this out of respect for their families’ well being.  Right on the heels of the New Year's celebrations comes another federal holiday falling on the second Monday of January: Seijin no Hi (成人の日) , or Coming of Age Day.  In the US, when you turn 18, you are a legal adult, but must wait 3 years to legally consume alcohol. In Japan, there is only one age, 20. However, though the federal holiday is January 11, it doesn’t mean that the 20 year olds throughout Japan celebrate the same day.

Winter at the Kimono House We hope everyone is staying home and healthy this season!  It's been a long year and and the tradition of winter holidays like many other holidays celebrated with family has been put on hold to keep loved ones safe. The worst thing about staying home for the holiday we, at the Kimono House, feel is the lack of holiday parties!  The opportunity to dress up in something special and be with friends and family is the perfect compliment to the cold weather. Unfortunately getting together isn't possible but getting dressed up still is, even if it's just for a mirror selfie.  The chance to get a new kimono, yukata, jacket, and other goodies hasn't passed yet so we recommend getting it while there's still time in store. 

Staying home a lot? We are too. We have a great selection of kimonos for the fall season such as bath robes, lounge-wear, silk kimonos, and casual cotton kimonos, great for staying comfortable if you're spending a lot of time at home.        If you would like to try on some of our kimonos, please call the number below to schedule an appointment for try-on's.  Kimono House is located at 131 Thompson Street, New York, NY 10012 We are conveniently located in SoHo between Houston and Prince Streets.
