About Us

Based in Kyoto, Japan, SOU・SOU was created in 2002 by Katsuji Wakisaka (textile designer), Hisanobu Tsujimura (architect), and Takeshi Wakabayashi (producer). While modern and edgy, the brand is dedicated to preserving the best traditional techniques by using skilled craftspeople and time-tested materials.

Already a hit back home in Japan, SOU・SOU opened its first US store inside San Francisco’s NEW PEOPLE building in August 2009. And for those who can’t make it out to California, this online store is for you!
