Overseas Exhibition Held in India and other countries.
From Kyoto to the world. Kyo Yuzen Dyeing (Kyoyuzen) and new-age craftsmanship for diverse markets.
The Kyoto Yuzen Dyeing (Kyoyuzen) area is in a critical situation due to changes in consumer awareness of kimono, sluggish consumption and a sharp decline in the size of the market, as well as changes in economic activity following the Covid-19 epidemic.
Our strength is the production of small-lot products, especially tailor-made production systems, which can meet all kinds of consumer needs by making use of diverse and advanced technical techniques. Therefore, in this project, we aim to develop new markets by proposing products for the world market, making use of this feature of being able to offer the ultimate original products.
The following three groups will be presenting their works in Kyoto, Tokyo and India.
-
Project to develop overseas markets through the development of saris products
-
Project to develop new markets through the development of fully custom-made dress fabrics
-
Project to develop new interior design products and cultivate inbound markets
Please take a look at these works, which give a new twist to traditional Kyo Yuzen Dyeing.

Saris made with Kyo Yuzen Dyeing
Wrap yourself in Japanese beauty
Kyo Yuzen Dyeing (Kyoyuzen) is a craft produced with water from local rivers in Kyoto. The final washing used be done using the clean water from the Horikawa, Kamogawa and Katsuragawa rivers; Kyo Yuzen Dyeing ateliers were dotted around those rivers at that time.
Kyo Yuzen Dyeing, which gorgeously reflects the beauty of nature from season to season on silk, not only inherits the spirit and techniques of tradition, but also adds the refined sensibility of the masters living in that era, and can be said to be the crystallization of beauty through ultimate refinement.
“Tradition and Innovation”. These are the terms that often used when describing Kyoto as a city.
In the traditional asset, there is a strength that has been through many phases of era, and at the same time, there is a process that has been challenging those changing phases without hesitation. That is what made the Kyo Yuzen Dyeing colourful, sophisticated, and graceful, and these are among the aesthetics of Kyoto.
We, as Sensho masters, are exploring new expressions everyday in order to find the next potential beauty.
On this occasion, we created the new intire products created include the sari, an Indian folk costume, broadcloth for haute couture and bed runners, using the Kyo Yuzen Dyeing (Kyoyuzen) techniques involved in the Japanese folk costume, the Kimono.
