In order to further heighten Japan’s textile technology, the Dyeing Creation Village promotes collaboration so that textile firms from various production districts, trades and businesses can work together for the development of new products. Under the theme “To Expand the Possibility of Processing Expressions”, the Dyeing Creation Village presents dyeing and finishing techniques that are the forte of Japan thanks to the teamwork between textile firms and processing houses. Together with the cooperation among textile production districts, fashion students can learn more about state-of-the-art processing technology.
