Established in the late Edo period, Hiyoshiya, the only long-standing manufacturer of Japanese umbrellas (wagasa) in Kyoto, developed the interior lighting KOTORI using traditional techniques. The effort to transform the Kyoto wagasa into interior lighting has become widely known as a case study of creating new value by creating a stir in the world of traditional crafts.
The innovations made possible with wagasa can also be made in the fields of bamboo, Japanese paper, lacquer, ceramics, textiles, dyeing, and many other traditional crafts which Japan is proud to offer the world.
HIYOSHIYA INTERIOR uses the techniques, designs, and materials of traditional culture to offer the unique value of beauty, history, and narrative-forming to interior spaces in Japan and around the world.
