ABSTRACT is a tactile and sensuous textile inspired by abstract painting. The depth of the weave and the texture give a bold sense of composition and contrast in colors. This collection is a tribute to the beauty of nature and the long-standing weaving traditions of Nishijin, Kyoto, which are translated through this abstract and poetic look and feel.

Family-owned since 1688, Hosoo has carried on the renowned textile traditions of Nishijin in Kyoto for more than twelve generations. The history of the textile company could even be traced back to the birth of the textile district in Nishijin, Kyoto formed by master-weavers and tailors in the 9th century.

Originally appointed kimono tailors and obi belt weavers of the Imperial Family of Japan in the 17th century, Hosoo’s long lineage of weavers have since expanded their workshop to create traditionally-woven, hand-spun silk-based textiles for international talents, interior designers and fashion houses around the world.

Under the visionary leadership of the Hosoo family, the textile mill has preserved the time-honored techniques and weaving methods of Nishijin, while integrating them with improved looming technologies to meet the demands of an international clientele.
