Hello,

I’m Stasia Matsumoto, the founder of award-winning kimono portraiture experience INKIMONO.

I’m a professionally trained and licensed kimono stylist and photographer based in Asakusa, Tokyo. Since 2018, I’ve combined my love of kimono with portrait photography to create a more personal way of experiencing and photographing kimono.

Each session is carefully styled around the person wearing it, from the kimono and obi to the final photographs. I have styled and photographed over 1000 sessions.

My work has been featured in magazines, newspapers, YouTube videos, radio and television. In 2026, INKIMONO was awarded Best LGBTQ+ Travel and Best Accessible Travel by the Japan Travel Awards.

I have built my studio around kimono, photography and inclusion — my goal is to create an authentic kimono experience for everyone.
