The KOSHO brand has been created by Kosho Ogawa - an artist for traditional hand dying of Kyoto Yuzen fabric used to make Kimono.
The aim of the KOSHO brand is to create contemporary beauty based on the traditional art and the simplistic, timeless style of Kyoto.
The design of the KOSHO bags has been inspired by the folds of Kimono and the shape of folding fans. The colored folds showcase the traditional colors of Kyoto. Each bag features one of the typical seasonal colors.
Each bag has the "Canvas Ougi" motif adding a modern combination of color and dynamism. The hems of the bag open double folded accented with beautiful, vivid color. Each bag is hand-made by master craftsmen and the colored fabrics are hand-dyed using dyeing techniques typical for Kyoto.
