"Traditional origin where tie-dye technology lives" · Arimatsu Narumi "

Arimatsu Narumi has ancient streets, festival floats, and others attractions, and there are "selling points" for tourists to the city. However, they still have a tradition of tie-dye. The economy of this region is supported from the ground up by "shibori" (tie-dye). This is the unique culture and value of this place, which cannot be found anywhere else in Japan.
Nagoya is the home of the worldwide known Toyota.
Nowadays, it can be said that the most advanced technology supports the local economy. However, tie-dye, which has supported the local economy for 400 years, also has an irreplaceable value. It is the mission of Arimatsu Narumi to continue to be a traditional production area where tie-dye techniques can be used for as long as possible.

The more you use it, the softer it becomes

Isemomen Cotton is made using the finest pure cotton threads in Japan, and each piece is carefully Weave using methods that have remained unchanged since ancient times. Weakly twisted threads (threads with little twist) are prone to breaking and are very difficult to weave, so they must be woven slowly. We use looms from the Meiji Era, and each machine can only Weave one tan (approximately 13 meters) per day. It is a very rare fabric.

As the finished cloth is washed, the glue will come off and the threads will return to cotton, so the fabric will become softer. It is gentle on the skin of children and can be used comfortably. This texture is the charm of Isemomen Cotton.
