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.

Chikusen seeks to express a more expansive worldview within everyday living spaces—carrying this vision forward is what connects tradition to the future. With this sentiment in mind, "CHIKUSEN no UTHUWA" was born.

CHIKUSEN no UTHUWA

Chikusen strives to express a broader and more expansive worldview within living spaces. 

This very pursuit is what carries tradition forward into the future. 

With this sentiment in mind, this project was born. 

Transforming fabrics into new forms— 

This is "CHIKUSEN no UTHUWA". 

While the genres vary, spanning apparel, interior design, and tableware, 

we hope you will enjoy the sense of comfort that transcends these boundaries. 

The beauty of cherished designs, the craftsmanship of artisans, and the fabrics born from their expertise— 

All of these elements embody Chikusen’s unwavering dedication.
