Gallery Kawano (CLOSED)

Set in the backstreets of Omotesando, Gallery Kawano have a particularly dazzling collection of obi, some of which are almost a century old. Their kimono and haori selection is a bit more traditional in terms of patterns and colours, but they do carry larger sizes as well, making the place perfect for taller women. Check out their range of kimono fabrics too: they have anything from simple-patterned silks to elaborately printed ones, and the bags with different fabrics bunched together make great gifts. Unlike many other kimono shops, Kawano have English signage to help you distinguish what's what.
