The “KimonArt Hijab” is a printed hijab born from the desire to incorporate the beauty of traditional Japanese culture into hijabs and deliver this fusion of beauty to many Muslim women. It recreates designs that express Japanese beauty, such as kimono and calligraphy, and incorporates original patterns created in collaboration with yuzen artists and calligraphers. The fabric is made from high-quality Japanese eco-polyester (recycled PET bottle fabric), and all processes from cutting to sewing and inspection are carried out domestically, achieving high quality while being environmentally conscious. It is washable, requires no ironing, excels in coolness, and is designed to ensure a beautiful appearance, drape, and fabric placement around the face when worn, providing comfort and peace of mind. Available in two sizes, square and rectangular, it is limited to designs that Muslim women can wear with confidence, embodying the fusion of Japanese traditional culture and Islamic beauty. For 9 years, we have been producing one-of-a-kind kimono hijabs using antique kimonos, but we faced challenges such as the fear of not being able to offer traditional designs in the future and limitations in production volume due to manual work. Inspired by the efforts of a yuzen artist we met at that time, we revived the designs using digital technology while preserving tradition, and after two years of trial and error with cultural bearers such as calligraphers, this hijab was born. We pursue a balance between design and functionality so that Muslim women can comfortably and confidently enjoy the traditional beauty of Japan.
