The second installment of "Kyoto-teki (Textile) Style," an exhibition and sales event that incorporates Kyoto's traditional crafts into modern lifestyles, has been announced. The event will be held from Wednesday, May 20th to Saturday, May 30th, 2026, at Cafe Gallery Tokijiku. In addition to Kyoto's traditional crafts, this year's event will welcome "Tsuyukusa," an Arimatsu Shibori artisan from Aichi Prefecture, as a guest to showcase the appeal of craftsmanship that transcends regions. Our company (loco y tanto, Inc., headquartered in Kyoto) will also be exhibiting our Nishijin-ori dog wear brand, Miyako, following its popular reception at the last event. Through formal wear and accessories for dogs, we propose a new approach to making traditional crafts more familiar.

The second "Kyoto-teki (Textile) Style" exhibition and sales event, which incorporates Kyoto's traditional crafts into modern lifestyles, has been confirmed.

■ A New Proposal for Incorporating Traditional Crafts into Daily Life

This event aims to reinterpret traditional crafts not as "special items" but as "things to be incorporated into daily life," conveying their charm to younger generations and international visitors. Visitors can experience a new Kyoto style through products reconstructed from the unique perspectives of each creator and brand.
Furthermore, by learning about the creators' passion and background, the event offers the value of a cultural experience, rather than mere consumption.

For this second event, we will welcome "Tsuyukusa," a specialty store for Arimatsu Shibori yukata, a traditional craft from Aichi Prefecture, as a guest style. This will create a venue where the charms of traditional crafts from different regions intersect. One of the highlights is the opportunity to enjoy the differences in techniques and beauty between Kyoto and Aichi.
■ Scenes from the Previous Event and Visitor Reactions

The previous event (held from October 1st to October 11th, 2025) attracted many young people and overseas tourists who were unfamiliar with traditional crafts. We saw it reaching a new audience, with comments such as, "It's cute and an accessible tradition," and "I want to incorporate this into my current lifestyle."
It also became an opportunity to deepen understanding and interest in traditional crafts, as visitors could touch the products while learning about the creators' backgrounds and techniques, confirming the event's expanding reach to a new demographic.
■ Miyako's Exhibit Details

Our company (loco y tanto, Inc.) will exhibit our Nishijin-ori dog wear brand, Miyako, again following the last event. By incorporating traditional crafts into the familiar presence of a dog, we aim to deliver their charm to a demographic that has had no prior connection with Kyoto's traditional crafts, thereby creating new value.
The Nishijin-ori dog wear brand Miyako will exhibit and sell ribbons, dog ties, and dog snoods made from Nishijin-ori, Tango Chirimen, and Kyo Kanoko Shibori.
