Bringing the light of the present to an inherited vision.
Today’s light enters a Kyoto machiya holding some 150 years of time.
The philosophy and aesthetic vision inherited from T.T founder Taiga Takahashi meet the sensibilities of traditional craftspeople and contemporary makers and artists, giving rise to new expressions.
Reading the wisdom and beauty held within old garments, T.T carries them forward into clothing for women living today.
This approach, finding the possibilities of the future in the past, also guides the new life unfolding within this townhouse.
The folds of garments echoed in karakami paper. Tatami edged with woven textiles. Light and shadow shifting across the garden.
Materials and techniques refined through tradition find new interpretations, quietly resonating with sculpture and art.
To touch a garment, gaze upon the garden, savour the lingering notes of tea.
T.T Gosho-Minami is a place where creativity builds upon inherited beauty, carrying it forward into the way we will live.
