Chikusen
Chikusen was founded in 1842.
The company became famous for its yukata (summer kimonos) and Edo komon (small patterned kimono), which were produced using dyeing techniques handed down from the Edo period, and its way of life was even depicted in the world of Kabuki theater.
After the war, we opened a store in Asakusa and continued to manufacture products in line with the creed of the first generation.
The taste of our products was well received by the public, and we began doing business with department stores and specialty stores nationwide.
Later, we made the decision to relocate to Nihonbashi, the center of business, where we are located today.
Each product created by Chikusen is filled with a deep sense of craftsmanship and commitment.
The dyeing is brought to life through the traditional techniques of skilled artisans.
The texture and appearance — determined by the choice of fabric — are carefully refined to enhance the beauty of the finished piece.
And the original designs of Chikusen, beloved for generations, form the foundation of its timeless appeal.
Only when all of these elements are harmonized through meticulous adjustments does a single product come to completion.
This time, we are delighted to present a selection of items that embody Chikusen’s dedication and attention to detail in every aspect.
