Oshima pongee is 100% silk. Prior to weaving, the yarn is dyed first, and then hand-woven plain weave is used to make the Kasuri mating, which is designated as a "Traditional Crafts Designated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry". It is one of the highest peaks of silk fabrics that Japan is proud of, known for its fine dyeing and weaving techniques. It is one of the three largest textiles in the world along with the French "Gobelins" and Iran "Persian carpets". It takes half a year to a year to complete one piece of this fabric, which is produced through more than 30 processes. The beautiful design, the deep luster compared to the wet feather color of the crow, the supple feel, and the light comfort are attractive. Furthermore, it is said that it is a durable fabric that can be worn for 150 to 200 years, and it has been passed down through generations of parents and children and has been used habitually for generations.
Togo Textile manufactures while strictly following traditional techniques. A variety of patterns are created by the combination of delicate Kasuri and the dyeing of plants such as Umeshi, Yellow Hada and Ai. The pattern was developed with motifs such as "classical patterns" and "natural flowers." In addition, in recent years, we have also produced modern abstract patterns designed by Akio Nagae. High efficiency machine was developed by Ieun Nagae in 1868, and invented from Kasuri making by hand clasping to Kasuri making by tightening machine in 1891 so that production can be dramatically expanded and widely sold nationwide. became.
