【Why Imabari?】
Cotton pile products have become essential in our daily lives. Why has Imabari production reached such great heights?
There are two main reasons for that.
 

【Good quality water is essential for dyeing products】
Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture, blessed with rich groundwater and spring water, which are very important for dyeing products, is praised for its gentle climate.
By exposing the fibers to this extremely low heavy metal and low hardness quality soft water, a gentle finish is achieved.
This allows for the expression of the soft texture and vibrant colors, which are the greatest characteristics of Imabari products.
 

【Imabari is the holy land of Japanese cotton pile products】
The Imabari region was famous as a major production area for white cotton during the Edo period, and goods were transported to places like Osaka using ships.
Amidst this, jacquard weaving, invented in France in the early 19th century, was introduced to Japan during the period of civilization and enlightenment.
 

In Imabari, where there was already a foundation in the cotton industry, the production of cotton pile products began in 1910 using handlooms.
It is precisely because Imabari has endured the ups and downs that it continues to be the largest cotton pile production area in Japan, skillfully blending traditional manufacturing techniques with the latest technology.
We consistently provide the highest quality products and will not relinquish our title as the "number one cotton pile production area in Japan" to anyone.
