KIOTO was founded in U.S. to make it easier to purchase Japanese products such as kimonos (Japanese style robes), picture postcards made from washi (Japanese paper) and miniature model building kits. All without the inconvenience of customs paperwork or overseas wire transfers. We can accommodate orders of all sizes, and since everything is shipped from our U.S. warehouses, delivery times are remarkably short.

Our hope is to introduce a time-honored beauty to people in the U.S. by faithfully preserving Japanese traditions, the “waza (art)” and “kokoro (soul)” of Kyoto culture. We invite you to enjoy authentic elements of Japan in your daily lives.
