An apparent domain investor grabbed the domain Kimono.org, a major cultural Japanese keyword.
The auction at DropCatch ended at $1,605 dollars, and the sale rides on the coattails of Kim Kardashian’s recent attempt to deliver a shapewear brand, catering to women with large posteriors.
While Kimono.com ended up in the ranks of other failed brands, the domain Kimono.org retains the purity of a TLD that’s designed to cater to organizations and foundations.
Backlash from the Japanese led Kim Kardashian to ditch the plans for kimono “underwear,” as the kimono is a traditional national female garment in Japan.
Kimono.org has now been listed on the Efty marketplace, with a standard contact form. Whoever decides to buy it, better stick to the same rule set regarding Japanese culture: don’t offend Japan with extreme commercialization of their prideful heritage.
