Haruna's Timeless Touch

Since 2020, Haruna from Mie, Japan, has passionately engaged in kimono remaking, drawn to the elegance and history of both modern and antique kimonos. Discovering the vast number of dormant kimonos and obis awaiting disposal, she was inspired to act. Her mission is to rekindle interest in kimonos and traditional Japanese attire, integrating the "mottainai" value of minimizing waste into daily life stylishly.

Haruna's creations, ideal for everyday use, focus on the beauty and narrative behind each piece. With a foundation from Bunka Women's University and self-driven learning, she adds a unique touch to every item. Holding a Level 2 Certification in Color Coordination, she specializes in practical designs that highlight color and pattern, enhancing each woman's beauty. Inspired by global traditions, her work combines timeless and contemporary elements.

Each piece is crafted to appeal to those unfamiliar with kimono materials, aiming to be irresistibly stylish. Haruna shares the stories behind her fabrics, fostering deeper appreciation and connection. Your support helps preserve and celebrate rich cultural heritage. With gratitude, she looks forward to continuing this journey and sharing more beautiful creations with you.

MATSU MINI PAUCH

This pattern combines young pine trees (Matsu) abstractly with diamond shapes. The three rounded tips represent new buds. Evergreen trees symbolize longevity and are considered very auspicious because they were regarded as trees growing in an ideal world.

KAME MINI PAUCH

Tortoiseshell Pattern. This traditional geometric pattern is reminiscent of a turtle's shell. As the saying goes, "Turtles live for ten thousand years," symbolizing the wish for longevity.

 

CRANE MINI PAUCH

The combination of octagons and squares is called "Shokkōmon." It originated from patterns made in the ancient Shu region of China (during the Three Kingdoms period, in the southwest). The pattern within is called "Mukaitsuru" or "Tsuru-bishi," representing cranes facing each other. This design symbolizes the wish for a long and harmonious life together with one's spouse or partner.

 

KIRI MINI PAUCH

This is a Paulownia pattern. Paulownia is a fast-growing plant, and the wood is highly prized for its stability, fire resistance, insect resistance, and humidity control (anti-mold) properties. These features made it an expensive material for making furniture and safes. The pattern symbolizes wishes for children's healthy growth and protection from evil. According to Chinese legend, the sacred phoenix resides in the paulownia tree, symbolizing purity and nobility. Like the chrysanthemum, it has been adopted by the Imperial family and court. Even today, it is used as a national emblem and can be seen on the podium of the Prime Minister's official residence and other locations.
