Artisan Toyoaki Kuwayama started Kyoto Denim in 2007 in order to bring the craft of yuzen dyeing from the world of kimono painting to a new medium that would resonate in the 21st century. Kyoto Denim’s goal is to preserve this art and share its vibrant legacy with the world.
The dyeing and tailoring of our bags is all done in Kyoto. They showcase the skills of our craftsmen and highlight the unique designs of Kyoto. Kyoto Denim also offers custom dyeing services, where you can select a pattern to be dyed onto your own jeans.
Delivery time for custom work is typically 2 weeks, with international shipping available. Prices start from 19,800 yen~
Can your old denim improve the future? Yes! At Kyoto Denim, we can recycle your used garments through our circular sustainability program. Bring us your old denim, and we will transform it into DENIGUMA – teddy bears that are as unique as the garments they were made from.

To bring Tegaki Yuzen into the future, we will continue to blend historic Japanese artistic techniques with denim fabrics from around the world – in a way that honors both the history of the art form and the materials that give it life.
Kimono traditional crafts form the backbone of Kyoto’s exceptional artistic culture. Made by artisans, these rustic yet refined objects possess outstanding functionality combined with a uniquely Japanese aesthetic. Developed over 300 years during the Edo period, Tegaki Yuzen is a freehand dyeing technique used to apply decorative patterns to kimono and obi fabric.
