About kitta

The story of kitta begins in 1998, when the director, Yuko Kitta, started making clothing using natural dyeing techniques. In 2011, she established an atelier in Okinawa, after working in Tokyo, Hyogo Prefecture, and Chiba.At present, she (together with other kitta employees) is engaged in the production of art pieces, installations and clothing with the idea of shepherding objects from their birth to their return to the earth as a central motivating concept.
The dyes used by kitta are hand-produced using mainly the Ryukyu indigo we grow ourselves and the leaves, branches, bark and roots of various Okinawan plants. Heating via flame and fermentation are also important techniques in our dyeing process. In addition, so that the clothes kitta produces can be worn for long periods, we also redye kitta products when colors fade.
