COLLAGE TRANSPARENT is a new milestone in the history of HOSOO. The innovative techniques were applied to add an entirely new dimension to the classic traditions of Nishijin. COLLAGE TRANSPARENT takes inspiration from the book “In Praise of Shadows” by Junichiro Tanizaki and uniquely reflects the Japanese term “komorebi”, which signifies the subtle transparencies and play of light when the sunlight filters through the trees. COLLAGE TRANSPARENT is designed by Danish Design Studio OeO.

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.
