COA The story of Nishijin Nijiko
Nishijin Nijiko lives near a rose-filled park, near an old commercial street.
A curator, she recently directed the traditional craft Nishijin-ori.
She thought Nishijin weaving was something for grandmothers, but the ‘history and happiness’ packed into the textile that embodies the term ‘Kinran Danshi’.
A sense of adventure that glimmers through a quiet, full life.
Please come and visit us in a space that seems to cut out the life and crush of such a Nijiko.
The group COA was started by three women – a jewellery designer, a fabric designer and a textile designer – with the theme of such woman.
The three members of COA will hold a pop-up store at Umeda Souk.
