This book became a big hit on Amazon immediately after pre-orders began, and was ranked No. 1 in Amazon's best-selling kimono category.

This is a comprehensive collection of carefully selected kimono coordination by Sunao, who has accumulated knowledge and experience as a nationally certified first-class kimono stylist.

From standard formal coordinates such as wedding guests, to outfits for kabuki, concerts, and other occasions, to fashionable kimonos such as wool kimonos and silk pongees, 55 coordinates are presented in full color, according to TPO for each spring, summer, fall, and winter.

It is a must-have reference for anyone interested in kimono, as it also includes knowledge on the degree of formality and patterns, allowing you to make the most of your existing kimono and obi, and to match accessories with confidence.

To help you enjoy the kimono, we have included topics related to colors, patterns, and seasons. Whether you like kimonos or are just starting out, this is a book you will be thrilled to have.
