• Our dyeing associations that handle Kyoto hand-painted Yuzen will set a unified theme for new product development. Each participating company will then announce new products that showcase their expertise. This year's focus is the "Kyoto Yuzen Kaftan."
  The kaftan is a widely worn garment in the Middle East and beyond. In recent years, it has attracted global attention. To develop the design of this kaftan, we organized the “Design Competition for New Textile, Produced by Kyoto Yuzen 2025,” which targeted students from fashion and art schools in Japan and abroad. We will use the award-winning designs as motifs to develop new products, and we will hold a exhibition to promote market expansion.
  
  The presentation will take place in two cities and venues: Kyoto (Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art) and Tokyo (Shibuya Hikarie). In addition, the products will be featured on the online mall “Some Kobo Portal” with the aim of cultivating new sales channels.
  
  Through Kyoto Yuzen, we aim to foster cultural exchange by expressing design motifs inspired by the clothing cultures and traditions of countries around the world. We warmly invite you to view and enjoy these works.
  
  Organizer: Federation of Kyoyuzen Cooperative Associations
  Co-organizer: Kyoto Cooperative Association of KOUGEISENSHO
  Sponsors: Kansai Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI-KANSAI) / Kyoto Prefecture / Kyoto City

Using Kyoto Yuzen techniques, we will create twelve kaftans based on the themes "The Four Seasons of Kyoto," "The Four Seasons of the World," and "Award-Winning Motifs from the Design Competition."
We will publish photos of the works at a later date.
