Inheriting genuine techniques and handicraft souls used for kimono, which the founder’s house has been regarded as a business.
Today’s Kyoto Denim started activities to get as many people as possible to know about it, regardless of the shape of the kimono.
The technique has inherited as a traditional craft since the Edo era. In the present age, people don’t often wear kimono and Yuzen dyeing is a traditional craft now, so it seems that many people recognize it as an expensive item.
Kyoto Denim is making products with the hope that as many people as possible can feel the goodness of kimono, traditional Japanese crafts, and the goodness of traditional sensibilities.
Kimono may become more valuable as an antique as it gets older. Denim has the material that is able to increase the value among the modern clothes. In other words, they are applying the traditional craft, Kyo-Yuzen dyeing to the denim from the desire to inherit the culture by applying it with a material which increase the same value.
Craftsmen for dyeing properly inherit the main Kyo-Yuzen kimono as a traditional craft, and we want young children and those who don’t know Kyo-Yuzen to know about the hybrid Kyo-Yuzen. In modern terms, we make lots of followers and tell them that Kyo-Yuzen is such a thing, and make the followers who are interested in it, and then they hope that the next step up will be to let people know the value of traditional craft kimono called Kyo-Yuzen.
Surely, with the times, traditional crafts will be inherited according to needs and fashion, and the number of fans will increase, so first of all, I felt that making Kyo-Yuzen known is one of the important ways at the starting line.
It seems that many Kyoto Denim products are one-of-a-kind.
It is said that they put patterns on denim clothes and bags from customer’s orders and sometimes have an opportunity to make one-of-a-kind among various things they made.
Since the technology to make kimono is used in it, each item has a taste, and a denim product that will have a deeper taste will surely be ONLY ONE for you in 10 or 20 years.
