We were based in Folkestone, England, but unfortunately have not been able to show much of our collection. Maybe our next stage will facilitate new opportunities.

For personal reasons we moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2005, where we initially started up the business again over the internet and from home.
The name was changed from FUYU to FUYUya, which now includes the japanese reference for business or shop, "YA". Later we had a dedicated section in a flat in Avenida Pueyrredón in the center of Buenos Aires.

Our activities became well known because of our connection with the Japanese Garden in Buenos Aires. With their help we organised several exhibitions about different styles of kimono, kimono fashion shows and dress-up activities of famous Argentinians for publicity reasons. To publicise the exhibitions we were asked for several interviews for radio, television and papers.

We also were asked to provide kimonos for several adverts, some even international, and other activities related with japanese kimono. Our extensive page on Press will show you most of these activities.

We moved to Madrid in Spain the end of 2001 and in 2003 we opened our first real shop. We called it FUYU, japanese for "winter" being my surname. It was well known as a specialist shop in kimono. The shop was located in a street called "Calle San Lorenzo" in the centre of Madrid.

We appeared in many TV and radio programs and in magazines because of the uniqueness and quality of the more elaborate kimonos and its accessories.
We also rented and sold kimonos to several film, advert and theatre productions, for example a version of "Madame Butterfly" and a scene in the film "Capitán Alatriste" which unfortuntately was cut out.

Our history begins in London in the late nineties, when we did some small selling activities from our front room in Willesden Green while getting experience in selling kimonos in a well known kimono shop in Golborne Road in London, ASAHI, which is now closed.
