About us
OUR STORY
The Origins and Background of the Brand
ZenRyu was born with the aim of blending Japan’s traditional beauty with modern lifestyles.
Originally, one of our founders felt the desire to wear kimonos more casually, which led to the creation of kimono robes at ZenRyu. Particularly for those living abroad, buying kimonos and learning how to wear them can present many challenges. We want to share the beauty of kimonos not only with people in Japan but with individuals all over the world.
BRAND VISION
The Philosophy and Vision of the Brand
Our brand name, "ZenRyu," represents the serenity of Zen and the strength of the dragon (Ryu). These two elements symbolize the balance and harmony embodied in our products. Through kimono remakes, we aim to offer items that bring healing and strength to modern life, providing a sense of peace and a space for self-expression even in today’s fast-paced world.
OUR PRODUCT
Product Features and Process
ZenRyu's products are all unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. We seek to rediscover the allure of classic kimonos and revive them in a new form, becoming a bridge between the past and the future. A kimono is not just a garment; it is a work of art woven with history, culture, and personal stories. To pass on its value to the next generation, we have chosen the approach of remaking and reimagining these timeless pieces. Rather than simply renewing old kimonos, we cherish their history and stories, reimagining them in a way that fits contemporary lifestyles.
