These artworks showcase the intricate designs of Kyoto Yuzen, a traditional Japanese Kimono. Kyoto Yuzen is the oldest Kimono design achieved by unique dying method using silk screen in the ancient capital Kyoto.
IJICHI SILK-SCREEN has been operating its silk-screen printing business for over 90 years. Now, there is a new movement to reevaluate traditional Japanese culture among people in Kyoto. In the situation, we have just started to preserve traditional Kyoto Yuzen designs and pass them down to the next generations. I believe that we cannot preserve our tradition without learning something new through discoveries. What will people around the world find through these traditional Kyoto Yuzen artworks? What new values will people find through the art？
I truly hope you will find exciting new discoveries through the artworks and our important Kyoto Yuzen traditional culture will be flourished and passed down to the next generations.

With Artistic Regards,
