Buying a kimono in Tokyo is a journey through Japanese history, ranging from finding affordable vintage treasures at flea markets to investing in bespoke silk masterpieces in Ginza. While new, high-quality silk kimonos can cost as much as a luxury car, the thriving second-hand market allows you to own a piece of history for as little as ¥1,000 to ¥10,000.
The price of a kimono is determined by its material (silk vs. polyester), craftsmanship (hand-painted vs. machine-printed), and age. Buying Second-Hand Kimonos in Japan - Facebook buy kimono tokyo
