■ 1. Catch up
Hello everyone. This is Takahiro Sato, a.k.a. Tak, the designer. This mail magazine is usually sent out every Friday. Samurai Mode Kimono Gown's crowdfunding application went smoothly, and we are pleased to announce the start of the project today. Due to low fabric availability, we have a very small number of blue-gray Kimono gowns for sale. Therefore, we wanted to be the first to inform you, the subscriber of mail magazine, of this issue, which is being distributed today, Thursday.
As familiar to KUDEN customers, crowdfunding is the best opportunity to purchase new clothes at the best price when they are released. This is our way of thanking you for allowing us to gain experience in production for the first time, and to return even more of KUDEN's profits to our customers than we would normally do at a regular order event.
The Kimono gown requires 5.2 meters of fabric to make one garment, even for size S. The largest size L requires 6 meters, twice as much as the Samurai Mode Jacket or other jackets, so the number of garments that can be made from a single roll of fabric is limited.
If you miss this opportunity, the next order event will be held on KUDEN's website, and it is expected to arrive in the fall/winter season. This is a kimono of the new generation that I have created by pouring all my love for kimono into it. One piece can be worn in kimono-style or light gown style. The result is a Japanese mode outfit that is fun to coordinate and arrange.
I'll get to the breaking news this time in a hurry. Thanks for reading.
See you next time, Tak.
↑Sorry for my tired face during the photo shoot. I also tried it on and found it to be lighter than it looks, a cooler gown style. Kimonostyle also designed it so that the back and neck look beautiful. You can read more about it on our crowdfunding page! I will tell you more about it next week!

●What is traditional Japanese culture?｜Performing arts, crafts, events, food, clothing, and housing During the Edo period (1603-1868), many artisans, including woodworkers, moved to Nikko when the Nikko Toshogu Shrine was being built.I was born in such a place, and in my childhood, I had a lot of contact with various artisans. There was a skilled knife smith who lived in the neighborhood where I was born and raised, and he took care of me from a young age and taught me how to forge knives.This experience is the starting point of inspiration for my designs, as I love to make things.Japanese traditional culture. I will introduce the arts, crafts, events, clothing, food, and shelter from a designer's point of view.

●KUDEN clothes care point by staff Sena Sena, a KUDEN staff member, also handles PR, translation, and voice acting. But within the company, he is known as the ironing master. Sena has always loved ironing and does it before each KUDEN photo shoot, and since KUDEN's clothes have gimmicks and designs not found in other brands, ironing requires a certain knack. This is a care corner by Sena, who receives tips and advice from sewing artisans and concierges.
●KUDEN History「Live like traveling」 After falling into bankruptcy, falling ill, being separated from my son, and hitting rock bottom, I decided that I create a place where I could work with my disabled son in the future. I decided to start KUDEN with this goal in mind. Through encounters with various people, KUDEN has come to be what it is today. People who want to become fashion designers. People who are interested in how to start a new business in this era, people who like KUDEN's clothes and want to know more about KUDEN. For those who want to get hints for overcoming hardships and adversities, and for those who love children with disabilities, we will weave a memoir of KUDEN's history from its origins to the present. →KUDEN History「Live like traveling」Part 03 “Stay in the Philippines: Fatherhood and Management Side”（Latest article in Vol.006）
