During the Edo period (1603-1868), a law was issued prohibiting extravagance and calling on people to be thrifty.  As a result, extravagant kimonos with gilding, tie-dyeing, embroidery, etc. were banned. However, it developed \"Kyo-yuzen\" a colorful and beautiful dyed kimono, which was a cutting-edge fashion that attracted the attention of the masses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eKYOYUZEN KIKI:\u003cbr\u003eKYOYUZEN KIKI is a contemporary brand born from the hands of Kyoto’s master dyers—artisans who hold a profound respect for heritage while embracing a vision for the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong Japan’s three premier Yuzen dyeing techniques, Kyoyuzen is the oldest and most prestigious, originating in Kyoto during the Genroku era (1688–1704).
