The other day, I visited Chikusen, a long-established Edo Komon store in Nihonbashikobunacho, at a course of a long-established tour of Chuo Kumin College.
I've explained it
This is Fumio Ogawa, the fifth generation head of the company.
Zhusen was founded in 1842 (Tenpo 13) when Kabuki Edo Sanza moved to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho. For 174 years, it has been spelled "model dyeing", which is hand-dyed every time with hand-carved patterns.
The dyeing was also featured in Tokyo's specialty in 1901, and was famous from yukata to Edo Komon.
After the war, it was relocated to Nihonbashi in response to voices from famous department stores and luxury kimono stores.
Chikusen's commitment is based on the belief of "Edo", inheriting the technology and color from the first generation, and conveying the taste of Edo today.
"But there is a pattern. No matter what happens, try to protect the pattern first."
It is said that he escaped the difficulties of the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid.
I showed you a two-way yukata.
Swallow and gull
The heart pattern that the people of Edo enjoyed them abundantly in their daily lives while loving nature is revived vividly.
A boldly expressed bird design that the Edo people liked.
I'm going to fly around the sky of the 21st century.
As the number of times we introduce wild birds that we meet in Chuo-ku on our correspondent blog from April increases, we will continue to introduce them.
I began to think that wild birds could not change beyond space and time from Edo.
How do you feel about it?
Among the types inherited from generation to generation, other wild birds are "crane, sparrow, stag, hawk".
We also want to have time to love the nature of Heisei.
According to Mr. Ogawa's assumption, the ogu's cloth suits those in their 40s and the swallow's cloth suits those in their 60s.
