KABUKIMONO

“A disruption of societal norms”

The MYRKA exclusive silk kimonos “KABUKIMONO” are inspired by the Japanese theatrical form, Kabuki, that is often said to have its origins among the kabukimono gangs. They were groups of flamboyant rogues and flaneurs prominent during the late Sengoku period and early Edo period. (1600)

The term translates roughly to "eccentric," as the characters that comprise it mean, essentially, one who leans away from normal, or away from the social norm and is unusual.
