MIYAGAWA KIMONO SHOP, the head store of the ANTIQUE KIMONO SHOP COROMO, has been dealing with fabrics for kimonos for almost 100 years and has been providing our customers with the highest quality material and service.

In 1904, Tokusaburo Miyagawa after he had apprenticed at a wholesale store as head clerk for about ten years, founded the Miyagawa Kimono Shop in Muromachi, which was famous for kimonos. As the demand for kimonos increased, his son, Tokutaro Miyagawa, opened his own shop in Osaka, the well-known mercantile city in Japan. World War Two burnt the site to ashes, so the shop was relocated to the neighborhood of the Katsura Imperial Villa, and our business resumed. Our reputation as retailer and an advisor of kimonos was affirmed by our customers, such as Geisha of the Gion district and television entertainers, especially Japanese comic storytellers. Subsequently, the third generation, Akira Miyagawa, started informing in public more about traditional kimono fabrics. Approaching the one hundred in anniversary of the shop's foundation. The fourth generation of the family and the owner of COROMO, Masaya Miyagawa, wants more people in the world to understand how the kimono embodies the beauty of traditional Japan.

The history of kimonos dates back to the Heian period of the 7th century. At that time, the Imperial family and even ordinary citizens adopted kimonos as a show of fashion. Kimono use blossomed in the 1800s. The end of the Edo period, and most kimonos seen today were developed back then. Modern Western clothing has eroded the popularity of kimonos. Nevertheless, the beauty and the tradition of kimonos are still rooted in the Japanese mind.
