Explore Kimono Beyond Rules, Gender, and Perfection! Kimono Punk is a guided styling experience inspired by the spirit of Yokai — exploring kimono (着物) as a living, evolving form of creative expression.Set within the atmosphere of the Yokai exhibition, participants are invited to approach kimono freely, intuitively, and playfully.
Kimono Punk follows the Yokai spirit — encouraging playful experimentation, personal storytelling, and freedom beyond convention.
It is not about wearing kimono “correctly.”
It is about living culture, play, and personal expression.

>> The experience follows this structure:
1. Introduction: Kimono history & styling
A short and accessible lecture introducing the historical evolution of kimono and how kimono styling has continuously changed over time.
2. Kimono Punk styling session
A guided, playful styling experience where participants wear kimono in a freer, punk-inspired way.
The focus is on accessibility and practical solutions, especially for people who do not own a full set of traditional items (such as nagajuban).
3. Photoshooting
A relaxed, photo-friendly environment will be created, allowing participants to move freely and take their own photographs.
Three professional portrait photos is included to the ticket.

Throughout the experience, kimono is approached as something alive, flexible, and responsive to the present moment — not as a fixed set of rules.
