Furoshiki wrapping cloths with a Rinpa design, Kyoto karakami

While Karacho is a purveyor of tradition, this establishment never stops taking up new challenges in the field of expression. Examples include furoshiki wrapping cloths featuring karakami Rinpa patterns in a collaborative project with a furoshiki shop, and the development of a tea ceremony tapestry pouch. In 2015, Karacho was also invited to a ramen bowl exhibition together with famous designers for the unveiling of new bowl designs that the company was involved in. Though an art can be perpetuated simply by conveying the traditional ways from one generation to the next, Karacho seeks to take things one step further and actually forge new tradition.
