About

This Japanese clothing sale gathers pieces from across the shop at reduced prices: haori (羽織) jackets, oni masks, hanten coats, geta sandals, printed socks, lanterns and a few table items. It is the place to look when a piece you had in mind becomes available for less, or when you want a first traditional garment without committing to a full outfit. If nothing here matches, the Best Selling collection shows what other customers reach for most often. Read more What the Japanese clothing sale brings together The selection changes as stock moves, so the mix is never quite the same twice. Most of it belongs to wafuku , the word for Japanese traditional dress, and to the objects that surround it at home. Expect outerwear such as haori and hanten, footwear like geta, masks carved and painted by local artisans, socks with ukiyo-e or irezumi motifs, paper and bamboo lanterns, and the occasional bento box or poster. Because the range is wide, it helps to decide what you are looking for before browsing. A jacket you can wear with jeans works differently from a wall Japanese lantern meant to sit in a corner of a room. Both live in this sale, side by side. Choosing a size in the haori and kimono sale Japanese sizing runs about one size smaller than US and EU sizing. If you usually wear a US medium, look at a large. A kimono haori is cut straight and loose, with wide sleeves and no closure, so it forgives a little extra room; a hanten sits closer to the body and benefits from a more careful choice. Check the shoulder and total length given on each product page rather than the label alone. Footwear follows the same logic. Geta sandals are meant to leave a small margin of heel beyond the wooden sole, which is normal and part of how they are worn. Sizes in this family are limited during a sale, so availability often decides for you. Masks, socks and decor in the Japanese sale An oni mask depicts the horned demon of Japanese folklore, used in Setsubun rituals and in Noh theatre. Ful
