Concept
The beauty of Japan, forever .
The city of Kyoto is filled with a lot of beauty.
An ordinary street corner, a view looking up at the mountains from the Kamo River,
Trees that change with the seasons, townhouses lining the alleys.
Everything is imbued with Japanese aesthetic sense and values.
Toyosai was founded as a kimono shop during the Ansei era of the Edo period.
We have provided people with a life with kimono.
We believe that kimonos, which gently blend into the Japanese landscape, are an important element in protecting and passing on unique culture and aesthetic sense.
Toyosai is a wholesale business, as well as kimono processing, maintenance,
We offer everything related to kimono, from sales and rentals to kimono photography and hair and makeup.
No matter how wonderful the culture is,
Unless we make efforts to be needed and loved by the people of the time, we will not be able to pass on our traditions.
"Let people actually touch and feel the kimono" and "Let people experience the kimono"
Make such opportunities more accessible.
Toyosai has the mission of conveying the beauty of Japan not only to Japanese people but to people all over the world.
We will spread kimono culture from Gojo, Kyoto.
