About Us – Our Story

Honoring Tradition, Creating the Future

For centuries, the kimono has been more than clothing in Japan.
It is an expression of artistry, a bearer of symbolism, and a reflection of life’s most important occasions.
Each pattern carries meaning—cranes for longevity, pine for resilience, plum blossoms for renewal.
Every stitch tells a story of elegance and respect for tradition.

At SAKURA, we breathe new life into these authentic kimono.
Using a single kimono, once worn with dignity on formal occasions, we carefully transform it into a dress that speaks to today’s world.
Most are made of silk, celebrated for its luster and refined texture.
The original beauty of the fabric is preserved, while the silhouette is tailored into a contemporary form that moves gracefully with the body.

 

Behind every piece is the hand of an artisan.
With over 50 years of experience in couture and tailoring, they work with precision and reverence for the material.
Each dress is made by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are alike.
This union of tradition and craftsmanship allows us to create fashion that transcends borders.

Our mission is simple:
to honor Japanese heritage, and to share its elegance with the world in a form that can be cherished every day.

From authentic kimono to timeless dresses—this is the spirit of SAKURA.
