What to know about Wa-Modern

Folk motifs, printed loud

Daruma, kokeshi dolls, rabbits and shippou and ougi patterns are the whole design language, rendered as bright prints rather than muted heritage references.

Built around the haori layer

The range centers on haori robes and lightweight kimono-style layers, with ponchos, button-up shirts, tote bags, chusen-dyed tenugui and stickers around them.

Bought through one US door

Apparel runs roughly $118 to $218 and reaches US shoppers via Kiriko Made in Portland; there is no documented brand-run web store or founding date.
