Shin Kinoshita story last article

Nabeshima Dantsu

What Shin Kinosita values is “beauty of use” including design.

The beauty of Nabeshima Dantsu, which has a unique Japanese sensibility and sense, and whose cotton texture increases the more it is used, is exactly what this “beauty of use” is. He wants to deliver this beauty that comes from the feelings and texture of cotton that have been woven over time. Shin wants to continue creating new types of Dantsu while envisioning its future in which people from all over the world can share the feeling that can only be experienced with this Nabeshima Dantsu from Japan.

Shin wants to value “desire” rather than “practical use”. He would like to respond to individual requests of customers while consulting on designs.

EnArtEx will fully support him who wants to make a “prayer mat” the first success story in  the overseas market.  Orders are now available through the HakoForYou site which please take a look.

He would like to pursue his design work by listening to what his customer wants. Among them, if he finds an opportunity with an overseas designer, he would like to challenge that collaboration. Shin has a dream of exporting his Dantsu back to Turkey where it is the original home of this mat.
