Kurochiku Co. Ltd.

In 1974, Kurochiku Co. Ltd. started business in Kyoto. The founder, Setsuto Kurotake, was born between a Miya carpenter father and a lady in Nishijin weaver family line. Naturally he valued the “succession of Japanese tradition” and launch his business in the field of manufacturing and sales of Japanese goods and artifacts, restaurant, hotel


and architectural design. He even works on reproducing and preserving Machiya (conventional Kyoto houses) and planning cultural or traditional events, backed by the spirit to add cutting edge techniques into the beauty sense of Japanese culture

Chirimen-Asobi (Crepe Works)

Chirimen-Asobi is a way to make up seasonal small gadgets with used fabrics. “Bon” and “Tsukimi” are the most famous among typical traditional events in Japanese calendar. Bon is one of summer features held from 13th to 16th August. In Japan, it is said dead people and ancestors come back from heaven to the real world once a year at this time and people alive should respect and pray for their soul. As ancestors are said to ride on fast horse when they come and ride on slow cow when they go back, the “summer decoration” symbolize horse by cucumber and cow by eggplant.

 

On the other hand, “Tsukimi”, another seasonal feature, is held in September or October now, on the date of 15th August by lunar calendar. On this day, dumpling, rice cake and corm are offered to celebrate a harvest and admire the full moon. In the present era, many Chirimen-Asobi have the Western festival motives like Christmas or Halloween, and the one like “Beni Kingyo (gold fish)” provides coolness as an interior item in summer.
