We "HINAYA" has produce4d our original items in Nishijin, Kyoto until today. From now on, we sincerely will introduce our "existence" toward not only local people in Kyoto but people from all over the world.
It has been a long time people start saying that "No visitors to the factories" but I don't agree for that.
Also people say that "Young people now are not interested in the outside of Japan" "People don't ware Kimono anymore"and so on, I also don't agree for this either.
It has been trendy to ware Kimono as nostalgic fad among young people and changing the circumstances around Kimono.
I believe that there are many people who are interested in "producing", "communication with foreigners" and "Kimono" more than before.
I do hope this store become full of those kind people and turning point of new encounter, producing and business as well.
That is the resolution to open this new store.
With the foundation of dyeing and weaving from Kyoto, traditions of Kyoto and Japanese view of the nature, we would like to contribute for Japanese culture to step forward communicating with the world globally, that is "HINAYA" 's philosophy.
We may be far from that philosophy but we all will make it come true, I promise.
Please give us frankly advise and opinion to us anytime, that would be very appreciate.
Thank you so much and would like to send you all best wishes.
