YSN STUDIO

YSN STUDIO

YSN STUDIO is a project launched by kimono manufacturer and wholesaler YASHIRONI, which marked its 300th anniversary in 2020, to chart the path to 350 years in business. This photographic exhibition on the theme of movement features works by the unit “néné petit", consisting of photographer Kaho Okazaki and stylist Hiromi Nakamoto. Their photos consider the kimono’s way of being in spaces connected to movement, such as trains, stations, bus stops and hotels, as they search for scenes where the kimono looks beautiful in the contemporary cityscape.
