“Kimono” craftsman support project first! “A mask that looks good on kimono”
2020.08.27
“Suzunoki Co., Ltd.” has launched a project to support kimono craftsmen. As the first step of the project, in order to enjoy the Japanese lifestyle while utilizing the skills of craftsmen in the corona era, we will make a custom order sale of “masks that look good with kimono”.
As the first step, the Tango crepeen fabric woven in the Tango region of Kyoto, which is the kimono fabric producing area, is subjected to antivirus, antibacterial, and deodorant processing, and craftsmen over 40 years on this road are one by one with Kyo Yuzen’s technology. We sell hand-dyed masks.
This project is planned to be the second and third series, and we will support the creators of kimono, such as Nishijin weavers, embroidery craftsmen, and family crest craftsmen.
Supporting Kyo Yuzen dyeing craftsmen
Many craftsmen who make kimono, a traditional craft, are also struggling with this corona blight. We thought it necessary to take on new challenges in order to maintain the traditional techniques that have been passed down for many years. We also started this project because we believe that the challenge will also support the craftsmen.
You wear a kimono and go out with a non-woven mask?
With the recent increasing demand for masks in Corona, the wearing of masks has become common both in Japan and overseas.
Under such circumstances, he said, “I would like to wear “kimono” to go out, but a non-woven mask makes me feel uncomfortable.” “Is it possible to do total coordination, including the mask?” I received many voices like this. I wanted to sell “a mask that looks good on kimono” that allows you to enjoy going out with kimono, not only for functionality but also for emotional masks.
