Does Yokodana carry hangers or display stands for kimono?
We were able to get the traditional style wooden (& some of plastic) stands used by stores to display the heavier uchikake. However, the costs — even wholesale for us to buy directly in Japan — were exorbitant. So, we will not carry them as we doubt anyone will be willing to pay far more for the stand than for our better uchikake. We attempted to make our own uchikake stands using local artisans — but the cost ended up being as exorbitant as the ones we got from Japan. So, no future plans or ability to offer the kimono stands.If anyone finds a source for good reasonably priced stands, please let us know, so we can refer others to it. We do get frequent requests for these. Addendum: January, 2005 — Resource for reasonably priced kimono stands, see links page. The arched hangers (not for uchikake, but for regular kimono), which we had the catalog for 6 or more months, are now discontinued. If we can get a new supply we will, but these were close-outs, so we cannot promise on how soon
