Antique Kimono Queen

About Me

In 2004 I decided to start my own business importing Japanese Kimono and Antique. After working in the Hair,Make-up and Styling business since 1985 I decided it was time to broaden my horizons, So far so good .....

NIPPON IMPORTS is a Dutch based company that selects only the finest Japanese products directly from Japan. You will find many types of Kimono - Vintage and New . From elaborate Wedding Kimono (Uchikake) , brightly patterned Furisode which are worn by Maiko and young unmarried girls, Tomesode - stunning black Kimono delicately patterned on the under half, as well as the more informal types of Kimono. We also stock Obi's which are stunning sashes which decorate the Kimono and we offer a range of Kimono accessories that make wearing a kimono by yourself possible. We also offer new and used Human Hair Katsura also known as Geisha Wigs or Wedding Wigs and Kanzashi (hair decoration) to complete the traditional Japanese outfit. Along side the Kimono Products we have a variety of Dolls, Hina Ningyo and Boys Day Dolls to mention a few and a range of Japanese Art and Ceramics and Porcelain.. If you are looking for something special don't hesitate to contact me as it is also possible to look for items in Japan. COMING SOON INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLANNED KIMONO TOURS IN JAPAN-MARCH APRIL and SEPTEMBER 2007
