About The Collection
Itchiku Kubota, (1917-2003) is considered one of the most important Japanese textile artists of the 20th century. He rediscovered tsujigahana, a traditional Japanese dyeing technique, lost since the 16th century, which allowed him to create an exceptional body of artistic kimono. These kimono have received international acclaim following major exhibitions around the world. Opened in 1994, the Itchiku Kubota Art Museum lies in the foothills of Mount Fuji, by Lake Kawaguchi.
In 2011, recognising the importance of Itchiku Kubota’s work to the art world and the wider community, Dr Patokh Chodiev acquired the Itchiku Kubota Museum and its entire collection of 104 unique kimonos to protect and preserve them for posterity. Since then, the International Chodiev Foundation has organised and sponsored exhibitions of the kimono around the world, bringing their beauty to new audiences.
