About Ogura Atsushi

While thinking of the wearer,
I try to create Tsujigahana for the contemporary world.

The Ogura family has been credited for reviving the Tsujigahana Style, a dyeing technique that flourished in the Azuchi-Momoyama period but suddenly died out in the Edo period.
At the age of 29, Atsushi Ogura was awarded his first prize at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition.
He is now considered a leading expert in Tsujigahana dyeing, and has achieved a wide range of restorations, including the haori and kosode of Tokugawa Ieyasu, which are in the collections of the Tokugawa Art Museum and the Kyoto National Museum.

As he says, "Colour is emotion, form is reason", and wearing his work feels as if one is bathing in the beauty of the patterns dyed delicately into the silk.
