A unisex “Kimono x Genuine Leather Sneaker” that combines beautiful kimono and genuine leather sneakers with the skill of Asakusa shoemakers.
“TOKYO KIMONO SHOES”, a shoe with a unique pattern to upcycle and shape the kimono, will be on sale from 16:00 on June 17, 2022 at the crowdfunding site “Makuake”.
With the development and manufacturing cooperation of Akusuto Co., Ltd., we have extensively reviewed the wooden pattern to make the kimono sneakers that the company was selling into global unisex products.
We have introduced a larger size and made improvements such as changing the cut insole inside the shoe.
Not only the new fashionability of “kimono and genuine leather”, but also the “easy to wear” and “easy to walk” that can be realized only by the manufacturer who has many years of experience in shoe improvement.
Japanese kimono, Japanese leather, and Japanese technology are all made in Japan, so you can continue to wear them with peace of mind.
Since one piece of kimono is cut and used, the pattern is different for each pair.
* We carefully select kimonos that match the color of the leather.
Please enjoy your own sneakers that are unique in the world.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
