It's like they clean out grandma's closet and the silks go to a sale site. I bought a beautiful wedding furisode kimono and other garments for my daughter just because she loves the culture. I'm sure someone will be pissy about that, but..
Here is the blog they send me every month since and following is an ad for a furisode kimono so you see what they do. I'd rather it is bought than ruined.

Neither of these are mine btw, I have no profit in it.
