HOSOO x HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO Private Kyoto Kimono Experience
HOSOO was founded in 1688 in Nishijin, Kyoto. Nishijin is the name of an area in the old city of Kyoto, known for silk weaving and kimono-making. Nishijin textiles are called Nishijin-ori, a weaving tradition born in the ancient capital of Kyoto some 1,200 years ago, supported by the aristocracy, the warrior class and wealthy merchants. HOSOO is proud to be a part of the long and storied tradition of Nishijin-ori. The pursuit of overwhelming beauty and exceptional craftsmanship passed down through the generations is a hallmark of HOSOO textiles.
This package is an opportunity to partake in an exquisite experience that will add colour and splendour to your stay in Kyoto. A chance to wear selected kimono from one of Japan's finest collections, including works by living national treasures. Enjoy a gallery tour of the HOSOO FLAGSHIP STORE and a private shopping experience with champagne, and discover the world of Nishijin-ori brocade, a supreme Japanese cultural art form, only at HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO.
