Due to the quality and/or design, this kimono is being offered at a significantly reduced price, with a minimum amount of details being provided. Please understand that these usually be fairly stained and that we are unable to provide any more information or photos. We suggest this to be worn informally or upcycled in order to continue the life of the piece. (Pieces with the quality rank of A~B can be worn at formal or semi-formal occasions. A subdued design on a tsukesage, for example, can be used as a house guest or for a tea ceremony.)
Unlike our non-discounted items, the cost of shipping is excluded from the listed price of the items.
The shipping fee is excluded from the price, but is based on the actual weight and dimensions plus a ~$10 handling fee and payment processing fees. The price for shipping one kimono will be significantly higher than four or five, on a per-kimono basis. If the shipping fee is significantly higher than the actual fee (such as if we can fit all into the 5kg box, but the system requires payment for a 10kg box), we will refund the excess shipping fees.
The shipping fees are based on the delivery location. Please check this link for more information on the cost to ship orders:

Quality Rank (Outer Fabric):
S = Near Mint Condition, No signs of aging, staining, or wear.
A = A very small amount of staining or aging can be seen, such as one or two age spots.
B = Signs of use and a few small stains or many tiny stains (such as dots from aging).
C = Stains are easy to spot, large, and/or numerous, and may contrast heavily with the fabric.
D = Holes or very large stains. Significant signs of aging and use may also be seen.
E = Salvage only.
Some or all of the cost of shipping is built into our prices (lower-priced items have shipping fees completely excluded). Customers in most of North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia will only pay US$10-15 for shipping or will receive free shipping.
Lightweight items (under 600g) usually require a shipping fee of US$10-15, depending on the country.
Heavier items will usually have the cost of shipping fully built in, so there are no shipping fees.
Because shipping fees are built into our prices, you can receive a discount for making a large order.
Receive an automatic US$15 discount on each additional large, premium item over $45 when buying at least three qualifying items. (*Start of Discount* Furisode 1 ($95), Houmongi 1 ($55), Tomesode 1 ($67) = $217 - $15 x 2 = $187)
