Authentic Kyoto Temple Garment – Rare Antique Koromo
This traditional black silk Koromo is a genuine Japanese Buddhist monk robe, sourced in Japan and carefully selected in Kyoto. Originally worn in temple environments, this garment embodies the essence of Zen discipline, simplicity, and spiritual practice.
Its structure reflects authentic monastic tailoring, far from modern reproductions. The wide sleeves, vertical drape, and pleated lower section create a silhouette designed for meditation, ritual movement, and walking practice (kinhin).
Traditional Construction & Authentic Details
- Wide traditional sleeves (大袖 / ōsode) with structured horizontal span
- Integrated pleated lower section inspired by hakama construction
- Layered collar (衿 / eri) allowing traditional under-robe (juban) layering
- Internal ties (紐 / himo) for authentic closure system
- Vertical back seam ensuring balance and natural movement
Premium Silk Fabric
Crafted in high-quality Japanese silk, this Koromo offers a refined texture with a subtle natural sheen. The fabric is both lightweight and structured, allowing fluid movement while maintaining a dignified silhouette.
Unlike synthetic replicas, this silk reacts naturally to movement, giving the garment a living presence in both stillness and motion.

Let customers speak for us
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
Confortable et parfsit pour ma taille de pied. C’est super a porter a l’interieur :)
An amazing Gi. More like a samurai robe. Where the tk-10 is stone this is water, not flimsy but heavy but flows like a powerful river. Amazing quality.
I ordered this product as a replacement for a cheap Chinese samue that lasted roughly 3 weeks. This one is on another level. I am 182 cm and 83 kg and the 2L fits me nicely. Although based on the leg length a L would have also worked. The cloth has a nice thickness and texture to it. International shipping was fast. Would definitely recommend...it would also be really nice if this shop would have an European reseller, preferably in Germany ;)
A beautiful, high-quality product — it's a pity about the customs charges for Italy.
