Tokyo – 
The first part of the project features digital versions of three traditional Japanese dance costumes created by Shochiku Costume Co. Ltd., a unit of the Shochiku Group that is renowned for its gorgeous stage wear. Drawn from famous classical dance performances, “Fuji Musume,” (The Wisteria Maiden) “Sagi Musume,” (The Heron Maiden) and “Ame no Gorō,” (Gorō in the Rain) these three kimono will provide users an in-depth experience of the Japanese stage costumes, something that would be challenging in real life due to their rarity. The SHOCHIKU digital collection is inspired by costumes that appear in classic works of nihon buyō (classical Japanese dance). Details of the kimono are as follows.
1. Fuji Musume
Based on the costume in Fuji Musume (“The Wisteria Maiden” first staged in 1826), this kimono is worn by the spirit of the wisteria blossom as she performs a graceful, charming dance.
2. Sagi Musume
Based on the costume in Sagi Musume (“The Heron Maiden” first staged in 1762), which features the spirit of a heron that transforms into various maidens.
3.Ame no Gorō
Based on the costume in Ame no Gorō (“Gorō in the Rain” first performed in 1841), the kimono is worn by the young hero Soga no Gorō who is traveling through the rain to visit his courtesan lover.
“Since its founding, the Shochiku Group has passed on and developed traditional Japanese culture, but in recent years, it has taken on the challenge of developing digital content,” says Takahiro Inoue, Shochiku Managing Director. “We are very pleased to be collaborating with DRESSX, a world leader in the field of digital fashion. In this project, the latest technology was used to digitally express the delicate nature of Japanese dance costumes as exactly as possible, and I was very impressed by the quality. I am looking forward to seeing how people around the world will use them.”
“DRESSX is excited to collaborate with Shochiku Group, uniting the East and West, and bringing stunning Japanese heritage to life in the digital realm,” DRESSX founders Daria Shapovalova and Natalia Modenova said in a joint comment. “We see extraordinary cultural value in this project. We are also proud to have the opportunity to provide our audience with the chance to try unique costumes for free on the DRESSX app and to create editorial quality artwork with their own photo when purchasing a metalook.”
