Kyoto Silk Glass
Silk Elegance for Interiors
Created through the collaboration between KAWAJUN and ITOKO,
Silk Glass transforms handcrafted silk into an innovative architectural material,
bringing texture, depth, and refined beauty to contemporary interiors.
As daylight shifts and architectural lighting takes over, the handcrafted silk reveals changing layers of texture, depth, and subtle reflections—bringing warmth and elegance to every moment.
Japanese Materials and Aesthetic Sensibility
Japan’s distinctive aesthetic has evolved alongside its rich kimono tradition.
Since 1931, Itoko has crafted exceptional silk textiles,
combining subtle patterns, delicate weaving, and meticulous Japanese craftsmanship.
In-house Design Creation
Building on the artistic legacy of founder ITO-KO Jiro, our designers transform generations of archival motifs into original patterns for today's interiors.
Kyoto's Artisans
The timeless spirit of Kyoto lives on through master artisans who preserve the tradition of Yuzen dyeing while continually refining it through innovation.
From Royal Culture to Kimono
During the Heian period, foreign influences evolved into a distinctly Japanese aesthetic. Over generations, kimono styles, dyeing techniques, and craftsmanship continued to develop and refine.
The Pursuit of Silk Excellence
Using premium Matsuoka-hime silk, renowned for its exceptional purity and strength, ITOKO continues a tradition of craftsmanship that has been valued by the Japanese Imperial Household for generations.
