Inheriting traditional techniques and developing them with modern technology, Akira Mitsuokaha’s Kawashima Selkon Textiles plunges its roots in the kimono industry of Nishijin, Kyoto district, where it specializes in reproducing with modern techniques the threads recognized as a Japanese national treasure. 

Thanks to the artistic direction of lighting designer Izumi Okayasu, fabrics literally manipulating light, depending on the viewing angle and on the way the light reflects on them, have been enhanced exponentially so that visitors can enjoy every nuance of these precious masterpieces reproduced on a large scale thanks to the most modern production systems, without affecting the quality of the result.
