MUJI's "Found MUJI" project will hold a special exhibition titled "Indian Textiles" from April 24th to July 2nd.

During the exhibition, works using the traditional Indian handicrafts of "Kantha" and "Block Printing" will be on sale. The lineup includes cushion covers, pouches, throws, and various fabrics.

Kantha is a fabric from Bengal that has been handcrafted by women living in rural areas. It is a warm textile created by women who think of their precious families. On the other hand, block printing is a printing method using woodblocks, in which the block is pressed hundreds of times onto a large piece of fabric without leaving any gaps. It is said to have originated in India and then spread throughout Europe and Asia to other parts of the world. While the printing technique has evolved in various ways in various places, in India, the original form has been preserved and the traditional artisanal techniques are still being passed down today. Items using kantha and block prints will be available at Found MUJI's Aoyama, Yurakucho, Ikebukuro Seibu, Jiyugaoka, Coredo Muromachi, Marui Kichijoji, Terrace Mall Shonan, Grand Front Osaka, Kobe BAL, and MUJI Canal City Hakata stores. Also, as a related event, a special exhibition to learn about kantha, "Bengal Palm Kantha: Their Needlework," is being held at ATELIER MUJI on the second floor of MUJI Yurakucho until April 22nd. Kantha pieces, handcrafted with the prayers and feelings of the time, are on display from the precious collection of the Iwatate Folk Textile Museum, which has been collecting each piece individually since the 1970s. Furthermore, from April 24th to June 28th, "Rajasthan Palm Kantha: Artisanal Dyeing" will be held.
