Special Thanks
For the creation of this work, we received tremendous cooperation from Kyo Gofuku Erizen, a long-established kimono store founded in 1584. They provided precious “eri-gara” (collar patterns) that have been passed down within the company for many years, and their elegant and dignified designs have given a profound depth to the worldview of this piece. The aesthetic of Erizen, which has long embodied the Japanese sense of beauty of “finding luxury in the unseen,” has instilled this work with authentic grace and soul. We express our heartfelt gratitude for their history of protecting and nurturing the beauty of Kyoto for over 440 years, and for their kindness on this occasion.

京染悉皆業から商いを始め、白粉（おしろい）などから着物を守る「半襟」の店として人気を博す。屋号にある「ゑり」は「襟屋」に由来。
夏目漱石の日記にも記録が残り、明治から大正にかけて隆盛を極めた半襟を所蔵している。
現在では、襟の制作から培ってきた美意識をもとに、着物や帯、和装小物、風呂敷などを取り扱い、着物を装う喜びを発信している。
京都四条河原町、東京銀座、名古屋に店舗を構え、京友禅、西陣織を中心とした華やかで品格のある「はんなり」とした着姿をお客様に寄り添い日々提案し続けている。
Erizen is a kimono specialty shop founded in 1584, two years after the Honnō-ji Incident.
The company began as a Kyoto-dyed kimono and textile maintenance business, gaining popularity as a “han’eri” (half-collar) shop that protected kimonos from cosmetics like white face powder. Its name, “Eri,” is derived from the word for “collar shop.”
Erizen holds a collection of these half-collars that rose to prominence from the Meiji to Taishō periods, with some even recorded in the diary of famed writer Natsume Sōseki.
Today, using the aesthetic sense cultivated from its history of crafting collars, Erizen offers kimonos, obi sashes, accessories, and furoshiki wrapping cloths, sharing the joy of wearing traditional Japanese attire.
With stores in Kyoto Shijō Kawaramachi, Tokyo Ginza, and Nagoya, the company works closely with customers to propose elegant and graceful kimono styles, primarily featuring exquisite Kyō-Yūzen and Nishijin-ori textiles.
