慶応元年創業。気品漂う祇園花街で歩んできた、井澤屋の歴史。

 

Izawaya’s history began in 1865, at the end of the Edo period, when the first-generation owner, Seibei, opened his shop in Gion, Kyoto, about 150 years ago.

In the Meiji period (1868-1912), Izawaya was the representative Japanese kimono accessory shop in Kyoto and its name became known throughout Japan. Izawaya has been in business during the development of Gion, with local women in Kyoto and kimono culture.

Even today, a great number of people from around Japan visit Izawaya in Gion, the largest Kagai (geiko & maiko district) in Kyoto. Since our main shop is located right across from the Minami-za Theatre where Kabuki was born, many Kabuki-related people are our long-term customers.

Izawaya provides beautiful accessories which are essential for kimono attire. Our accessories incorporate exquisite traditional works of Kyoto, such as Nishijin brocade and Kyoto Yuzen dyed textiles, in new and elegant designs inspired by the graceful culture of Kagai. Experience the exclusive “elegant refinement” that Izawaya can offer you from the heart of Kyoto.

"Bin-Yo-Bi-Shin-Hi-Bi-Arata"
This calligraphy was presented by a famous Japanese artist, Tessai Tomioka (1837~1924), to Izawaya. The words state that a woman should get herself ready with a fresh feeling every morning – a manner a woman should remember.
