MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
The beauty of the Japanese kimono is loved and admired not only in Japan, but in virtually every part of the world.
We've been fascinated by the beauty of the kimono and sash-like obi for many years, so we resolved to give them both new life－in myriad forms :
－Fashion goods ( such as handbags and scarves )
－Interior goods ( such as cushions and tapestries )
－Character goods ( such as kimono teddy bears and original charms )
Each Midori obi and kimono creation starts its life as the highest grade silk Japanese obi or kimono, authenticity guaranteed, meticulously handcrafted to meet the standards of any collector.
The intricate fabric patterns embroidered on each obi and kimono are one-of-a-kind works of art that represent cultural tidbits of Japan's bygone days. And of course the expert craftsmanship of each obi or kimono creation matches the impeccable craftsmanship of the original antique obi or kimono.
PHILOSOPHY BEHIND MIDORI INTERNATIONAL
The traditional obi and kimono are inextricable with Japanese culture, and as such should be perpetuated. And Midori International is happy to add a new inquiry in the quest to keep them going : why just wear them?
Midori International has reworked them into the variety of goods mentioned above, while reinvigorating and introducing them into the foreign repertoire of daily life.
Midori obi and kimono art creations complement any home décor.
And their durability matches their beauty－allowing them to be handed down from generation to generation.
Our hope is that this bit of cultural exchange will show the depth, warmth, and versatility of the Japanese heart, and reintroduce Japan in a light the rest of the world can truly appreciate and enjoy.
