KYOTO MONTSUKI Inc.

We are an upcycling company that dyes clothes that cannot be worn due to stains or blemishes by applying the Kyo Kuromontsuki Zome kimono-dyeing technique, which is a designated traditional craft that we have been cultivating since 1915.
Our original deep black finish, which we have developed in pursuit of the perfect black, is a technology that incorporates a light-absorbing substance into garments after they have been dyed black to enhance darkness, and no other company can replicate this black dyeing process. To spread this technology, we would like to promote the concept of clothing restoration using a traditional Japanese kimono black-dyeing technique around the world.
