Aizen Kobo
Aizen Kobo Review
Two blocks west of the textile center on Imadegawa-dori and a block south, Aizen Kobo specializes in the finest handwoven and hand-dyed indigo textiles. Pure Japanese indigo dye, with its famed rich color, may soften but will never fade. The shop is in a traditional weaving family home, and the friendly owners will show you their many dyed and woven goods, including garments designed by Hisako Utsuki, the owner's wife.
