KIMONO TANGO is on a mission to "revitalize the kimono culture, which is the product of a long history and the incredible skills of master artisans, by fusing it with modern life. We are always looking for ways to incorporate kimono and obi into daily life while preserving their original design and texture. The kimono is an art form of the highest international standard. It has always been a part of everyday life, however, just as many works of art have been showcased in museums since the modern era, which are usually tucked away in chests except for special occasions like coming-of-age ceremonies and weddings. We're discovering exciting new ways to use them from a fresh perspective. KIMONO TANGO is on a mission to reimagine kimonos as more than just clothes — they're symbols of Japanese culture! By redesigning them, we can proudly incorporate them into modern life while honoring their beauty and historical significance. We are passionate about infusing kimono culture with new life and sharing it with the next generation.
「長い歴史と匠の技が作り上げた着物文化を現代生活と融合させ再生させる」Kimono Tangoは着物や帯の本来のデザインや風合いを壊すことなく、日常生活に取り入れる方法を模索しています。着物は世界的にも最高水準の芸術の一つで、もともと暮らしの中に息づき溶け込んでいました。しかし近代以降、日常と切り離されてしまい、成人式や結婚式など特別な場面以外は箪笥にしまい込まれてしまいました。着物を「箪笥（タンス）資源」と位置づけ、従来とは視点を変えた現代的な使い道を見出しました。着物を日本文化の象徴として捉え、その美しさと歴史的な価値を尊重しながら、現代生活に取り入れるようデザインし直しています。着物文化を新たな生命に満ちた「使えるアート」に昇華させ、新しい世代に伝えていくよう努めています。
