The auction for the domain Kimono.org ended at $1,605 dollars, and the winner took home a major cultural keyword in Japan.
The domain was auctioned off at DropCatch; the timing of the auction was shockingly coincidental: Kim Kardashian’s choice of a new shapewear brand was called Kimono.
Kim Kardashian’s domain acquisition of Kimono.com, was put to use but was short-lived. Backlash from Japan criticized the kimono “underwear” selection, and the Kimono brand was dropped.

The new owner of Kimono.org has listed it for sale using the Efty platform, but the domain is also for sale at Afternic, where it’s listed at $30,000 dollars with an option to make an offer.
Is it too late to acquire the domain from its current registrant, as the keyword is one of Kim Kardashian’s failed brands?
While the asking price appears to be high, it’s a great keyword; the domain would be suitable for a cultural center with focus on Japan, such as one that uses the domain Kimono.co.jp locally.
