✨ Product Overview

This is a custom hand-painted Yuzen half-collar (半襟 / han-eri) created by Masashige Uenaka, a master artisan with over 30 years of experience in Kyoto’s traditional dyeing craft. Each “han-eri” is individually crafted to your design preferences—from motif, color palette, to overall aesthetic—so you can add a uniquely personal touch to your kimono ensemble.

🎨 What Makes It Special

The design and color are tailored according to your request, giving you the freedom to choose motifs and hues that speak to your taste.
