BRAND STORY
Kurosawa Costume - Wearing ``Kurosawa'' wearing ``tradition'' of ``movie''
In March 2023, his mother, Kazuko Kurosawa, a costume designer, passed away.
“Someday, I want to create my own brand that I can design freely.”
In order to give shape to these words that our mother spoke before she collapsed, we three brothers spent about three years preparing.
We have launched Kurosawa Costume, an apparel brand created by a costume designer with a new perspective.
Although this is a belated act of filial piety, I do not intend for this to be just a monument.
Carrying the name of "Kurosawa" on her back, I hope that my mother will not tarnish the world of costume design that she has dedicated her life to.
We aim to manufacture products without any compromise.

Our clothing creation begins from the perspective of a costume designer.
Kurashiki Kojima, a world-famous denim production area.
Sakiori fabric from Morioka, a dye factory from Kyoto, and sashiko from Otsuchi Town, Iwate Prefecture.

A sustainable form of standard
We are also active costume designers.
Therefore, unlike existing apparel brands, we cannot keep up with new releases in the spring/summer/fall/winter seasons.
Instead, we create a piece that has been carefully crafted to our satisfaction as a "standard model" that never goes out of fashion.
We nurture it with care and release new works once a year, as if taking a new step forward.
Although it is a small brand that does not have a store, these clothes,
We hope that your daily life will be colored like a scene from a movie.
