  • Preserving the Kawachi region’s cotton-weaving tradition

    Preserving the Kawachi region’s cotton-weaving tradition

    Through trial, error, and expert advice from university professors, we have re-established a dying local industry, and we are now able to perform all the cotton production processes (except dyeing) right here at our workshop using cotton grown in Higashiosaka, first city of the Kawachi region.

  • Eliminating waste from production

    Eliminating waste from production

    All cotton produced here is used, right down to the offcuts, which are used to make coasters, straps, and other small items. This spirit of waste-not-want-not and not taking anything for granted is deeply rooted in local tradition.

  • An enjoyable, unhurried working environment

    An enjoyable, unhurried working environment

    We began with just a few people, and our team has grown to 25 members ranging in age from 20s to 80s. That growth has been underpinned by a working style that focuses on enjoyment, in which staff can work on their skills at their own pace rather than being forced.

  • An eager host of study tours, participants in local expos

    An eager host of study tours, participants in local expos

    As part of our mission to reach as many people as possible, we host a variety of tours, including manufacturing study tours and hands-on workshop tours. Interestingly, there is a difference between those two kinds of tours in the demographics of the participants.
