□ "2016 FC Tokyo Monthly Goods" 6th edition

Luxury items that value texture and atmosphere

In the world-famous city of Imabari, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, only three old French looms exist that cannot be mass-produced even by skilled craftsmen. The texture and atmosphere woven with special settings are an overwhelming presence that can only be seen in the real thing.
The design is an original calligraphy art created specifically for this item, inspired by "signboards from around the 1950s"!
Enjoy leisure activities such as the sea, mountains, and pools! A new type of luxury item that can also be used as an interior decoration has arrived.
 

[Why Imabari?]
Cotton pile products have become essential in our daily lives. Why is Imabari production thriving like this?
There are two main reasons for this.
 

[High-quality water is essential for dyeing products]
Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, is blessed with a gentle climate and abundant high-quality water resources such as groundwater and underground water, which are extremely important for dyeing product production.
By exposing this extremely low heavy metal and low hardness component to high quality soft water, the fibers are able to achieve a gentle finish. This is the greatest feature of Imabari products, allowing for a soft texture and vibrant colors to be expressed.
 

【Imabari, 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 it was transported to places like Osaka by ship.
During that time, jacquard weaving, which was invented in France in the early 19th century, was introduced to Japan during the modernization period.
 

In Imabari, where there was already a foundation in the cotton industry, they began making cotton pile products with hand looms in 1910.
Because it is Imabari, which has gone through ups and downs, it has become the largest cotton pile production area in Japan that skillfully combines traditional manufacturing techniques with the latest technology. We continue to supply the highest quality products and will not give up the title of "Japan's number one cotton pile production area".
