DesignMotif
Chiso’s 20,000-piece collection.
All of the patterns have meaning.
Every motif in kimono design carries profound meaning, embodying countless wishes and blessings. Chiso's in-house designers draw inspiration from the brand's extensive collection of approx. 20,000 historical art pieces, inheriting a legacy of authentic knowledge and craftsmanship.
Prayers and wishes woven into each pattern
Tachibana (Japanese Citrus) - Eternal Prosperity
This design symbolizes the fruits and leaves of Tachibana, a citrus native to Japan. It's traditionally associated with longevity and eternal prosperity, as the leaves remain vibrant throughout the year while bearing fruit.
Kiku (Chrysanthemum) - Longevity
Its symbolism for longevity stems from a Chinese myth that says, "One who drinks the dew from a Kiku flower shall live longer. "It's also associated with nobility, as ancient Japanese aristocrats cherished the flower.
Noshi - Enduring Happiness
This design, resembling a bundle of ribbons, originates from "Noshi" - a traditional Japanese knot attached to gifts as a symbol of happiness. Several Noshi are bundled up and tied together in this kimono design, expressing the wish to collect happiness and maintain good relationships. The stretching strings symbolize wishes for long-lasting happiness.
Materials for
superb beautyFabric
White textile, the vital material of Chiso’s Yuzen
The exquisite colors of Chiso's kimono begin with the creation of the fabric. At our dedicated weaving factory in Tango (northern Kyoto), skilled craftspeople weave original white fabric from scratch.
Commitment to quality
We raise silkworms, spin threads from cocoons, and weave fabrics in Japan. The entire process is managed in-house. This is how Chiso maintains a high level of beauty. Because these kimono are to be worn on special occasions, we are committed to quality that you can trust.
Beauty when it is worn
In order to maximize the beauty of the figure when wearing a kimono, it is essential to have not only a design such as a color scheme, but also a fabric that can make the most of its charm. Flexible and moderately thick fabrics have a firmness that creates the beauty of a figure when worn as a kimono.
Tradition Lives
in InnovationHistory
Founded in 1555
470 years of constant change
About 470 years ago, Chiso’s history began as a supplier of religious ceremonial garments. Throughout our long history, our business has changed dramatically in step with the times, while still focusing on dyed and woven products. By reading the needs of each era and responding to them, our company has gained trust and established a solid track record, including becoming a brand authorized by the Ministry of the Imperial Household. Chiso is what it is today just because it has taken in new ideas without being bound by tradition.
Collaborating with
New Sensibilities
One of Chiso's innovative attempts was to commission Japanese painters to create preliminary sketches for kimono designs. This led to a renewal of Yuzen designs, which became very popular. Being collaborative and mingling with new sensibilities is Chiso's philosophy. With the belief that “ Tradition Lives in Innovation,” Chiso continues to bring beauty to the people of today.
Reinterpreting traditional beauty
for the future
Rather than preserving traditional kiomono unchanged, Chiso reimagines its essence to align with modern sensibilities, ensuring Japanese culture resonates with both contemporary and future generations. We strive for passing on Japanese culture to the present day and further into the future. Chiso is exploring kimono that will be in keeping with the beauty and individuality of the people who wear them.
