The French luxury bag brand MOYNAT, established in 1849, has partnered for the second time with renowned Japanese graphic designer Kazumasa Nagai. The centerpiece of this collaboration is a special celebration curtain unveiled at the historic Kyoto Minamiza Theatre, honoring the succession of Kikugoro Onoe VIII and Kikunosuke Onoe VI. The curtain depicts the iconic Kabuki performance "Renjishi" (The Dancing Lions) and Mount Fuji rendered using MOYNAT's "M" monogram. Kazumasa Nagai explained that the design expresses how tradition is maintained while constantly incorporating new creativity across generations. Kikugoro Onoe VIII commented that this collaboration stands at a true intersection of tradition and innovation, supported by the savoir-faire of the master contemporary artist Nagai, the 170-year-old French Maison MOYNAT, and the 400-year tradition of Kabuki.
