In the 3rd century "Wei Zhi Yajinden", it is written that Himiko of Yamatai country presented silk fabrics to the emperor of China. We are particular about domestic silk and continue to make genuine brands. Original silk moth variety New Koishimaru There are various processes that must be taken to complete a beautiful kimono. The material that should be called "Kimono no Moto" is raw thread. It is the story of the birth of the highest peak of raw thread, "New Koishimaru". The silkworm farm on a small hill north of the Imperial Palace is called Momijiyama. "Koishimaru" is where the Empress of the past is bred at this Momijiyama Goyosanjo. It is a legendary variety that has been bred mainly from the Edo period to the Meiji period and is prized as "silk thread with good thread taste" among silk dyeing artists. The "New Koishimaru" is an improved version of this "Koishimaru" that matches the current sericulture technology. The cocoons are small and have a high quality of fineness with no unevenness in thickness. Among the original silk moth varieties in Gunma prefecture, they are highly evaluated as a material for kimono. Because the sericulture farmers, silk reeling companies, weaving companies, and sales companies are in vertical cooperation with the Japan Silk Industry Development Cooperative, we have made our commitment to quality even clearer, and here is the finest white fabric made from 100% "New Koishimaru". I made it up. World silk heritage One silk moth egg becomes one silk moth, one cocoon, one characteristic silk thread, and it is woven and dyed by traditional techniques to make one beautiful kimono. Many people are involved in the process. Gunma's proud brand raw silk "Gunma 200" and "Kozuke Kinsei" are used for the warp and weft, and the crest design chirimen white fabric is carefully woven using the technique at the traditional machine shop of Chirimen's hometown Tango. Each thread of "Gunma 200" and "Kozuke Kinsei" has its own expression. The mystery of silk that is created when the threads overlap. It is a mystery that has been nurtured in the history of silk that has been repeated with continuous cotton. Then, Gunma's former government-owned Tomioka Silk Mill, which started operations in 1897, and the silk industry heritage group have gone through a long way and entered the provisional list of World Heritage registration in 2007. We have named this new piece of cloth "World Silk Heritage" with the thoughts of many people, valuing the inheritance of tradition and the spirit of creativity. Century 21 In Gunma prefecture, "Ashiginu" was tributed to the imperial court from the early Nara period about 1,200 years ago, and as it is still preserved as a treasure of Shosoin, cocoons, raw silk, and silk fabrics have been used for a long time. We have built an unwavering position as a production center. "Century 21" was born by combining that history and many years of wisdom and technology. "Century 21" is a cocoon that can grind yarn about 1.3 times longer than ordinary cocoons, has a fine fineness, and has an extremely excellent feature of about 2.4 denier. The length of the cocoon thread is about 1200m for ordinary varieties of cocoons, while the length of the cocoon thread is about 1500m for "Century 21". All of the products of "Century 21" are dyed very well due to their high quality silk thread, and are finished in a quality that is very satisfying to wear, and are a dignified and beautiful gem that plays an elegant texture. In addition, various processing is applied to protect important things such as UV protection, antifouling, waterproofing, antistatic, and insect repellent.
