Nishijin Textile × Mucha Featured in the Kyoto Shimbun

Kawase Mitsuru Textile Co., Ltd.'s Nishijin Textile × Mucha collaboration was featured in the Kyoto Shimbun on September 29, 2026.
The article highlights our craftsmanship, focusing on kimono obi that bring together the artistic vision of Alphonse Mucha and the traditional weaving techniques of Nishijin textiles. It also explores the beauty and possibilities of Nishijin textiles.
We are delighted that this feature introduces the new forms of artistic expression made possible by the meeting of Nishijin's time-honored weaving traditions and Mucha's art.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Kyoto Shimbun and everyone who contributed to the interview.

We will continue to share the traditions and beauty of Nishijin textiles with audiences in Japan and around the world, while striving to create new value through our craftsmanship.
