Meet Machiko — the heart behind WASARASA
Machiko is a licensed kimono instructor and dresser who has dedicated nearly four decades to the art of kimono. Her journey began at a prestigious beauty school in Kyoto, the heartland of Japanese traditional culture. Under her mentor at the Japan Hair Design Association she mastered intricate bridal techniques that laid the foundation for her career. Returning to Sasebo, she has since helped hundreds of clients through weddings, Coming-of-Age ceremonies, Shichi-Go-San and countless cultural events.

Traditional accessories
Obi belts, footwear (zori or geta), traditional handbags and hair ornaments (kanzashi) — every detail chosen to complement your outfit and occasion.
Professional kimono dressing
Kimono dressing is a meticulous process requiring skill, patience and tradition. From the precision of the obi knot to the drape of the sleeves, every detail is adjusted with care and expertise.
