Kimono姫 (Kimono Hime) is a Japanese language MOOK that focuses on retro trends using vintage, antique, and vintage inspired kimono. A MOOK is a "Magazine book"; a book published serially, like magazines. They are a little larger and firmer than magazines, but not so large as to be full 'books'. Each edition has about 90 pages and retails for ¥1260.
Kimono Hime inspired the fashion trend of the same name.

History
Kimono Hime's first issue was published by Shodensha in 2003. The first few books were published in fairly quick succession, but then releases slowed down, to approximately one every year or two. Currently there are 14 volumes of Kimono-Hime.
