Founded in 19978, the Kyoto Costume Institute recognizes the importance of understanding clothes for sociological, historical, and artistic perspectives. With one of the world's most extensive clothing collections, the KCI has amassed a wide range of historical garments, underwear, shoes, and fashion accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day.
