Kyoto traditional Industries
인 교토, there are 74 categories of traditional industries, including Nishijin textiles, Kyoto Yuzen dyeing, and Kiyomizu ware, all of which are renowned both in Japan and overseas. However, traditional industries in Kyoto have been in a predicament, due to a decline in the value of shipment로투스 바카라nd a lack of successors. With the survival of some of these categorie로투스 바카라t risk, the stagnation of Kyoto’s traditional industries has become a matter of social concern in the region.
In February 2021, we launched the “Kyoto Culture x 로투스 바카라 Group Technologies = XX Innovation” project. Currently, the Traditional Industries Team is working with our researchers and the City of Kyoto, as well as Kyoto Prefecture and various industry associations to contribute to the industry through our technologies. Through the 로투스 바카라 Foundation for Social Contribution, we also make donations to projects to revitalize traditional industries in Kyoto.
Driven by the passion of each and every one of our employees to "help revitalize Kyoto's traditional industries by leveraging our strengths precisely because we are a chemical company raised by Kyoto," we will continue to contribute to the survival of Kyoto's traditional industries.
