I have a collection of various magazines that highlight and show off the recent collection of kimono. I have never seen these images posted online, and feel its a real shame to see something so beautiful go unseen. Here are a few scans, as well as a mini guide from a magazine. In particular, this magazine features furisode, and is intended for younger women.
Cheers 🙂

Hi ^^
Please, can you tell me where do you buy this magazines? In a shop? By mail?
I don’t know how to search them because I still don’t know japanese, but they have quite some photos.
Thanks a lot ^^
Ebay, yahoo japan, various cultural stores in your area….
You need not speak a word of Japanese to find these publications. However, expect to pay $20+ for a single magazine.
I had the same question. I had to be careful not to get any drool while paging through that fabulous magazine. Thanks for the scans!
I am hoping the Japanese bookstore in Chicago has a few more of these magazines. Id love to buy them without having to pay upwards of $10 shipping on a magazine >.<
Thanks for posting these–can you tell me the name(s) of the magazine that has the image of the girl with the lace gloves and the last image (with the hat)?
I’m sorry, but I can’t find an english name on this magazine. I would love to share this publication if I could, but I can’t 😦
🙂 That’s OK. Is one of these scans the cover (I didn’t think the one with the lace gloves is, but…), or is it possible for you to scan the cover so I could look for it at my local Kinokuniya? I can read a little Japanese, so I might be able to figure it out. Sorry to bother you…No worries if you don’t have the cover or don’t have time to scan it!
Give me just a moment and I will scan the cover. The magazine is a touch too large for my scanner, so it won’t scan everything.
