Gallery Kawano Kimono is one of the best stores in Tokyo to buy used “up cycled” kimono, kimono fabric and kimono accessories. They are open seven days a week so if you don’t have the schedule or the time to hit a antique or flea market this is a one stop shopping location. Gallery Kawano has a great selection of merchandise which is organized by color and type of product making it a visual pleasure to shop in the gallery. You will not feel that you are in a “up cycled store” at all.
