About Midnight Blossom

Following the success of her previous appearances, Yasuka Mastro returns to Japan Impact 2026 to explore the kimono from new perspectives 👘

A certified traditional kimono dresser and creator, Midnight Blossom shares her passion for the craft and its living heritage through demonstrations and talks.

Conferences

Midnight Blossom will offer a kitsuke demonstration — the art of dressing in kimono — revealing, step by step, the gestures, codes, and subtleties of this practice. She will also host a talk entitled “Ecology, globalization, sustainability: the challenges of the kimono today.” Bridging past and future, she will shed light on the current realities of a garment often perceived as “on the verge of extinction”, questioning overconsumption, responsible fashion, and the place of the kimono in today’s consumer habits.
