MITA Kimono

MITA Kimono in Cerritos, California, provides kimono cleaning and repair services, as well as sales of new and pre-owned kimonos, yukata, and kimono accessories. The shop's services include dry cleaning, which is handled in partnership with Japan's 'Kimono totonoe', a kimono specialty dry cleaner that treats 60,000 kimonos a year.

This partnership allows for proper cleaning and maintenance of kimonos without having to send them to Japan. Saya Kawai Tsong, the owner of MITA Kimono, was inspired by her grandmother's wedding kimono and has since been fascinated by the elegance and craftsmanship of kimonos.

Saya Kawai Tsong aims to provide a service that allows Americans to appreciate and maintain these traditional Japanese garments. Her personal experience with kimonos drives her passion for sharing Japanese kimono culture with others.

MITA Kimono sells kimono hangers, obi belts, and yukata, with the goal of making Japanese kimono culture more accessible and enjoyable for Americans, and providing a platform for people to share and appreciate this traditional aspect of Japanese heritage.
