Kata Kata

Kata kata is a husband-and-wife creative duo made up of Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai. The pair met in 2004 while attending Tokyo Zokei University and began their collaborations. They specialize in using the Japanese dyeing techniques called Katazome and Chusen to dye intricate and highly detailed designs and patterns onto cloth fabrics. Their works are bold and eye-catching and inspired by everything that can be felt in daily life from stories about animals, insects, plants, landscapes and more.
