YOKODANA KIMONO is above all a family business, founded by in 1989 by Yoko Lewis in the United States, with family members handling the Japan side of things. YokoDana Kimono, formerly doing business as Yoko Trading for many years, is itself the brainchild of Yoko Lewis. This is her story:
* Yoko is the third generation of a family in rural Japan which has been buying, selling & collecting Japanese art & antiques for almost 100 years. Growing up as she did, she was surrounded by beautiful traditional Japanese artwork, textiles and collectibles. In addition to all the knowledge passed on to her from her father & grandfather, Yoko also has inherited a passion for these traditional arts and textiles of Japan, and takes great pleasure in making these things available to more people around the world.
In 1989 she realized her dream and opened up an Export-Import business based in the USA, making good use of her family's network in Japan. As the influence of the internet grew, she knew she had to 'get on board', so in 1998 the web site was created and she brought her brother on board to run the Japan office. That was the year that "Yoko Trading" became www.yokodana.com ( also known as, yokotrading.com) . Having staff in Japan and the USA --family at that -- most often eliminates the usual 'middle-men', so thus she can offer many unique & high quality items at most reasonable prices.
