clothing
The latest summer collection of our favorite modern samurai kimono offers a range of functionally fashionable garments.
Loincloths make a comeback with the popularity of fundoshi dance videos and the oppressive heat of Japanese summer rearing its ugly head.
Jiji the cat and Totoro and friends feature on tops, pants, skirts, dresses and accessories in the collection.
Don’t worry–wearing the following clothes will not cause you to abruptly switch sexes (unless you’ve previously fallen into a cursed spring and happen to get wet).
Has the clothing brand has done the unthinkable and permeated the lucrative animal kingdom market?

We’re guessing that this is the only place where you can find a yukata featuring a Loch Ness Monster design!
Keep your kitty close, cool, and comfy with this cat-pouch hoodie that makes room for ice packs!
