Japan’s number one cosmetic gift item is now available in the U.S.A. and for shipment worldwide. Kimono Girl Aburatorigami (oil-blotting paper) is made from super oil-absorbent, 100% natural, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and powder-free rice paper.

Kimono Girl oil-blotting paper will not remove your make-up or lipstick. It only removes excess oils. This makes it perfect for those that prefer to go make-up free. Unlike other oil-blotting papers that contain chemicals or fragrances, using Kimono Girl can help reduce breakouts.

Every Kimono Girl package is unique. The one-of-a-kind hand-drawn Kagayuzen kimono pattern design shown on the package is often collected by women in Japan and used to make origami.

Kaga was the name given in the Edo period (1603-1868) to the territory centered on Kanazawa, which lies in what is currently called Ishikawa Prefecture. One of the best known dyeing crafts in Japan, the traditional techniques of Kaga Yuzen, which have been handed down since that time, produce elegant colors with an exceptional sheen. From the 16th century to the early 17th century, the techniques of what became known as Kaga dyeing were perfected. These consisted of using persimmon or plum extracts to dye unpatterned cloth. In the second half of the 17th century, Kaga Yuzen is said to have been started by the painter Yuzen-sai Miyazaki who incorporated the Kaga dyeing process in producing Kaga Yuzen.
