Celebrating Another Year of Kimonos – Why We Love Our Job

Saturday, December 23rd, 2023

As we look back on another year in business, we are proud to see how far we’ve come. From humble beginnings as a small online retailer of Zen-inspired meditation products, we’ve gone all-in on kimonos and yukatas as our primary focus. And what a year it’s been! Thousands of customers, new and old, have bought our products for a variety of reasons. As we reflect on our success, we can confidently say that we love what we do. In this blog post, we’ll explore why we are so passionate about kimonos and what makes our products stand out from the competition.

At our core, we believe that kimonos and yukatas are more than just clothing items. They represent a unique culture and way of life that is steeped in tradition and history. For us, selling kimonos is not just a job – it’s a labor of love. We are constantly inspired by the artistry, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that goes into creating every one of our products. From the elegant floral patterns to the sleek and modern designs, we are proud to offer a wide variety of styles that cater to all tastes.

Of course, our success would not be possible without the support of our loyal customers. Many of them are repeat buyers who come back again and again for the quality and value that we provide. Others are first-time kimono wearers who are drawn to the beauty and uniqueness of our products. And let’s not forget those who buy kimonos and yukatas as gifts for their loved ones. It’s always a joy to hear stories of how our products have brought joy and happiness to people’s lives.

One of the things that sets us apart from other kimono dealers is our commitment to inclusivity. We were one of the first retailers to offer plus-sized and big and tall sizes, and we are proud to say that we cater to customers of many shapes and sizes. This is very important to us, as we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the beauty and comfort of a well-made kimono.

Finally, we love our job because it allows us to connect with people from all over the world. Kimonos and yukatas have a universal appeal that transcends language, culture, and geography. We are constantly amazed by the stories and feedback that we receive from our customers, and it is a joy to know that our products have touched so many lives. Whether it’s a bride-to-be looking for a gorgeous wedding kimono or a busy professional in need of a comfortable and stylish loungewear option, we are here to help and provide the best customer service possible.

In conclusion, we are proud to celebrate another year of selling kimonos and yukatas. Our passion for these amazing garments has only grown stronger over time, and we are excited to see where the future takes us. To all of our loyal customers – thank you for your support and for sharing in our love of kimonos. We couldn’t do it without you! And to those who are new to the world of kimonos – welcome! We hope that our products bring you as much joy and happiness as they have brought us.

Dragon meets the Kimono

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

The dragon is a popular pattern used in Japanese Kimono and Yukata robes. Dragons have been revered in Japan for over one thousand years and were considered to be ancestors of the first Emperor of Japan. These mythical creatures were commonly associated with bodies of water.

The Japanese dragon has three claws versus the Chinese version which has four or five. Dragons are believed to control fire, rain and the earth. Variations in history featured dragons in water, among the clouds and sky or nestled in forests surrounded by the majestic Japanese  Tsuri pine trees. Sometimes referred to as Tatsu which translates to ‘sign of the dragon.’

Dragons are considered to represent wisdom, power and success which in turn produces luck, fortune and most importantly strength. It’s easy to see why the Dragon is popular in Japan which is rich in symbolism and culture.  The fascinating history of the dragon has reached continents far and wide. Chopa Zen Home has been your Kimono Source since 1994.  We offer two dozen patterns celebrating the symbolic  dragon.
