Kyoto 'En' Kurume Kasuri & Ojiya Chijimi Exhibition at Matsuzakaya Nagoya

The "Kyoto 'En' Kurume Kasuri & Ojiya Chijimi Exhibition" will be held at Matsuzakaya Nagoya, located in Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya City, from Wednesday, June 10th to Tuesday, June 16th, 2026. This event offers a rare opportunity to see and purchase unique coats made from traditional textiles like Kurume Kasuri and Ojiya Chijimi, as well as clothing made from 100% linen and parasols crafted by Kuriyama Kobo.

Cultural Heritage Coats: The Charm of Rare Kurume Kasuri

At this exhibition, coats made from Kurume Kasuri, designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property, will be showcased. Each piece is meticulously woven with careful attention to pattern matching by skilled artisans, resulting in truly unique and luxurious items. These durable and valuable creations are designed to be cherished for years to come, bestowing a special elegance upon the wearer.

Ojiya Chijimi Coats: Exquisite Linen with a Refreshing Feel

Coats made from "Ojiya Chijimi," a traditional linen textile from the Ojiya region of Niigata Prefecture, will also be featured. This fabric is created by applying a strong twist to the warp threads and then carefully "hot-water processing" it to create its distinctive crinkled texture (shibo). Ojiya Chijimi has maintained its unique texture for centuries, offering a crisp, cool feel that is perfect for the hot season. Vests and dresses made from this material will also be available, adding a touch of coolness to your summer wardrobe.

Various Items and Parasols

In addition to these coats, the venue will offer a wide selection of items, including vests and dresses made from Ojiya Chijimi, and parasols crafted by Kuriyama Kobo. Clothing made from 100% linen is particularly noteworthy for its comfort during warmer months. The parasols, combining both aesthetic appeal and functionality, will protect you from the strong summer sun. These items are sure to add color and comfort to your summer fashion.
