Kimono Styling, Lecture & Photoshoot

About Me

I am a professionally trained and licensed kimono stylist and a photographer based in Tokyo, Asakusa. I offer high quality professional portrait photography combined with personalized kimono styling.

The idea for INKIMONO was born in 2018 -- as a professional of both photography and kimono, I wanted to combine them both and offer a unique, high quality service. As of October 2024, I have done over 700 portrait photoshoots.

I started my adventure with photography in 2016. I worked with KIRIN Australia on their First Press Photography campaign and with GirlGaze as a BTS photographer, among others. I specialize in street and natural light kimono portrait photography.

I developed an interest in kimono and in 2017 I started attending Aoyama Kimono Gakuin. In 2019 I acquired a professional kimono consultant and stylist licence. In February 2022 I graduated with an advanced professional qualification 一級講師. I am also trained in kimono hairstyling and offer complimentary hairdos as part of the styling process.

I want to offer you an authentic kimono experience and portraits of the highest quality — I use only traditional kimono items and choose a kimono outfit for you based on your personal style and any requests you may have. I give you an explanation about the type of kimono you are going to wear, its patterns, any meanings, formality level. I do not repeat outfit combinations, it will always be unique. My photography style is dreamy, dramatic, romantic -- over the years I have developed a recognizable photography style and I take great proud in my work. Beautiful portraits of you and authentic Japanese kimono create a unique, unforgettable experience.

My photography and work have been featured in magazines, newspapers, YouTube videos, radio and TV.

I run my own modern kimono studio in Asakusa, where all the styling and preparations for the shoot take place. My locations are all in a close distance from my studio.

My Studio in Asakusa

I run my own kimono studio in Asakusa, where all the styling and preparations for shoots take place. I have a large collection of kimono, obi, various accessories. On the day of the shoot I will wait for you at my studio. It takes about 15 minutes on foot from Asakusa Station. Address:
