"Good things are born in good nature."
About 1 hour by car from Osaka and Kobe...
Mountains with beautiful fresh greenery, clear streams where fish play, rice fields with ears of rice fluttering in the wind...
There is a rich natural environment where you can feel the seasons, and there is a landscape that soothes your heart. Here, there is a life with "goodness" that has not changed since ancient times. We would like to introduce the Banshu textile accessories of Taka Town, Nishiwaki, which are based on the motif of such a heartwarming sashiko in the Kitabanshu area.
"Sashiko weaving that expresses handicraft techniques in a modern style"
"Sashiko weaving" expresses the sashiko that is carefully sewn one stitch at a time using the traditional technique of Banshu weaving. The reinforcement technology is designed in a modern style, and a soft and gentle gauze fabric is used. It is finished in a vivid but natural color that makes you feel nostalgic.
