Mikawa Monen Sashiko
The Mikawa Momen Sashiko Weave is a weaving technique named after the birthplace of Japan’s oldest cotton fabrics. From very long ago, this weaving technique has been used to make work clothes and clothing worn to practice the traditional Japanese martial art called Judo. During the Edo period, firefighters who rushed to put out fires wore protective clothing made using this technique. The thick, specific weaving texture is resistant to cuts and sparks, and is robust enough to alleviate physical injuries. Therefore, it has been adopted as training clothes for a variety of martial sports as well as uniforms of carpenters and stone masons.
Okayama Denim
Okayama denim is a fabric manufactured in Okayama prefecture which thrived in the textile industry during the Edo period. Okayama prefecture is also where Japan’s first denim was developed. The traditional techniques have been perfected over many centuries and the most advanced techniques have been integrated into all of the manufacturing processes, including dyeing and weaving Okayama denim. Moreover, in recent years, the excellent quality of Okayama denim has been drawing attention internationally.
