Atelier Kanawa currently does not train or certify Kimono professionals regardless the refined quality class materials. Please be aware of the ones who may state to be my former short term students falsely titling themselves as a Kimono dresser/seller, while they are completely beginner level amateur and unable to take the responsibility with their dressing skill, knowledge, and Kimono decorum. Without official certification by professional training course and passing the examinations, it is not allowed to title oneself a Kimono dresser/Kimono Consultant to represent the heritage. Our only official assistant dressers are our current Matsu-gumi rank senior students. 

 

Thank you very much for your sincere understanding for what it takes to preserve the quality of "way of life" traditional Japanese culture, and your support to properly and respectfully passed it on from our ancestors to future generations. Our heritage shouldn’t be harmed by amateurs’ ego for desiring their own personal fame, but must be preserved by skillful humble professionals and our dedicated students.
