With a history dating back many centuries, HOSOO sees craftsmanship as a bridge across eras, using ancient Japanese weaving techniques to create sophisticated contemporary fabrics.

HOSOO values the culture of kogei (authentic crafts), creating beautiful, high-quality products that are designed to last. Founded in Kyoto in 1688, it has a history that can be traced back to the 6th century silk industry in the region. The company uses premium materials like silk and washi paper to craft distinctive, richly textured fabrics in a process involving over 20 separate steps. Each step is overseen by master craftsmen and engineers with their own specialist expertise, who collaborate in a non-hierarchical way.
