    About the Artist

    Textile Artist Passing On the Tradition of Kaga Yuzen to the Future

    Textile artist Hitoshi Maida, 3rd generation succeeding the tradition of Kaga Yuzen, studied under his father Kenji Maida. While preserving the traditional techniques, he continues to challenge innovative designs. Kaga Yuzen is known for its realistic designs of plants and flowers, but Maida designs nature geometrically using delicate lines and translucent colors.
    He not only produces kimonos, but also creates panels of yuzen for commerical buildings, designs packages for snacks etc., and is spreading the sense of traditional Japanese beauty to different fields.
    He is also making remarkable achievements internationally. He worked on the main entrance display of Uniqlo at Walt Disney World in Florida, USA in 2016, and is introducing the charm of Kaga Yuzen to the world.
