Discover one-of-a-kind Japanese textiles that bring your ideas to life.
1. Every Design Begins with a Textile.
Every Textile Has Its Own Character.
Flowers, cranes, fans, waves, pine trees, and traditional Japanese carriage motifs.
Delicate dyeing, weaving, embroidery, and gold embellishments. From bold compositions to understated solid colors and rich, subtle tones.
Vintage Japanese kimono reflect the aesthetics and craftsmanship of different periods in Japan's history.
Each piece also has its own motif placement, fabric width, texture, and signs of age.
Because the same textile may never be available again, discovering a particular kimono can become the starting point for an entirely new design.
Will you incorporate it as one element of a larger work? Make its pattern the centerpiece? Or combine several textiles to create something original?
The characteristics of each material can inspire new creative directions.

3. Textile Selection Informed by Design Experience.
Selected with a Designer's Eye.
TATZU is not simply a supplier of vintage kimono. We are also a fashion brand that dismantles traditional Japanese garments and reconstructs them into contemporary clothing.
As a Japanese fashion designer and pattern maker, TATZU personally works with the colors, patterns, and textures of vintage kimono, from pattern development and motif placement to cutting and sewing.
This practical experience allows us to help clients find materials based on their intended use, rather than simply searching by color or kimono category.
For example:
-
"I'm looking for a black kimono with a large gold motif."
-
"I need a striking pattern suitable for the front of a jacket."
-
"I'm searching for a textile that will stand out on stage, even from a distance."
-
"I'd like to combine several kimono with a similar visual character."
-
"I'm looking for obi suitable for bags or accessories."
If you share your ideas, design references, or inspiration images, we can suggest textiles from our available inventory that closely match your requirements.
We can also provide information about material characteristics and usable fabric quantities to the extent that they can be assessed.
