FORTUNA Tokyo, the modern Japanese brand celebrated for elevating Kyoto’s heritage textiles into contemporary luxury, has launched its curated collection at CHOOSEBASE SHIBUYA, a hybrid concept store integrating online and offline experiences in the heart of Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
The brand presents a sophisticated assortment of Kyoto-woven Matelassé handbags, matching coin cases, and Nishijin-woven silk accessories, including the HOKUSAI tie and coordinating compact mirror. Each piece is crafted by Kyoto artisans using centuries-old weaving techniques, offering travelers an opportunity to bring home an authentic expression of Japanese elegance and craftsmanship.
The HOKUSAI Silk Tie — A Global Favorite
Among the collection, FORTUNA Tokyo’s HOKUSAI Silk Tie stands out as the brand’s most internationally acclaimed piece.
Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave, one of the world’s most recognizable artworks, the tie reinterprets the famous composition through Nishijin-ori silk weaving, giving the iconic wave a three-dimensional, luminous texture.
As inbound tourism to Japan continues to rise, demand for high-quality, culturally meaningful souvenirs has surged. FORTUNA Tokyo addresses this need with artisan-made pieces rooted in Kyoto heritage.
Located steps from Shibuya Crossing, CHOOSEBASE SHIBUYA offers a modern, gallery-like retail experience where visitors may explore, touch, and appreciate the tactile beauty of Japanese textiles. Even items not displayed are available through in-store inventory or online ordering, ensuring a seamless luxury shopping experience for international guests.
A Gift From Kyoto’s Heritage to the World
“For more than a millennium, Kyoto artisans have refined an artistry that speaks beyond words. We are grateful for the opportunity to offer travelers a tangible piece of that heritage—crafted in silk, shaped with intention, and meant to accompany them for years to come.”— Akiko Koba
