Jacquard is a fabric in which the design itself is woven into the fabric. Unlike prints, it weaves a three-dimensional, smooth and profound feeling. Kokura Textile is the only textile factory in Japan that can weave jacquard with silk. In addition to the softness of the silk itself, the "silk jacquard" manufacturing method technology achieves a surprisingly delicate and soft texture.

There are also artisans who have worked at Ogura Textiles for more than 60 years. And we use looms that can only be handled by skilled craftsmen. The two tripods of the loom and the artisans create a one-of-a-kind silk jacquard.

Silk is said to be the second skin, gentle on the skin, has excellent UV function, and excellent moisture retention, so it has the characteristics of being cool in summer and warm in winter. In protecting the skin and health, it is an effective function not found in other clothing fibers. Kokura textiles use high-quality silk grown in Ishikawa Prefecture's abundant water and greenery, rich in nature, high humidity, and extremely favorable conditions due to fibers.
