"Surrounded by greenery and clear streams, all you can hear is the nostalgic 'clack, clack' sound of the looms..." Kobo Orizu, a workshop that creates original scarves and mufflers using traditional looms, is located deep in the mountains of Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, facing the Seto Inland Sea, in a lush, green area blessed with nature where time flows slowly.

Kobo Oiza's old-fashioned looms are an innovation that creates comfortable fashion products that are popular with people of all ages and genders.

Among them, the "Yuragi-ori" scarf, with its rare and soft wave design, is particularly noteworthy. This weaving technique has won the "Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Award" at the "3rd Monodzukuri Japan Awards."

Items created using traditional techniques blend seamlessly into modern fashion. Just as threads intertwine, people and tradition intertwine... The products created by Kobo Orizu seem to be a bridge connecting the past and present.

This is a fluffy neck warmer made by blending cotton with smooth, washable wool.
It's snug and comfortable without being constricting. The comfortable, non-itchy feel is unique to the "weaving" techniques of Kobo Orizu.

With its sophisticated two-tone color, the scarf looks different on the front and back, allowing you to enjoy subtle variations by folding it over. It's easy to match with any outfit and is recommended for a wide range of ages.

Because it's made of washable wool, you can hand wash it at home.

A pop of color that doesn't clash with your outfit.

Letting the fringe at the hem hang down adds a touch of elegance to the neckline.

Even a glimpse of the line is stylish.

Because it's stretchy, men can use it without feeling any discomfort.

It's also great to use it as a hair turban to protect your ears, or as a headband with dangling fringes.

When putting it on over your head, it doesn't feel tight, and it stretches and fits snugly around your neckline.
No elastic is used for the stretchiness of the woven fabric; instead, the "twist" of the weave creates the elasticity, resulting in a less constricting and more comfortable fit.

This item can be arranged and worn reversibly, depending on your outfit and mood.
Fold it in half for a monochromatic look. Mix two colors for a different feel, or change the way you display the fringe for a completely different atmosphere.

Also, taking advantage of the length and width of the tube, you can cover your head completely and adjust the edges of the fabric to create a turban or knit cap look. In the winter, when the cold is even more severe, it can also be used as a hair turban that covers your ears.
The stretchy material allows for versatile styling, making it a multi-purpose item.

A simple, cylindrical shape.

[Multiple Sateen Weave]
The fabric uses a "multi-layered twill weave" that creates a soft, voluminous texture, and the flexibility is a characteristic of twill weave.
This is a diagonal pattern weave structure in which two or more warp or weft threads float and sink continuously. It gives the fabric a lustrous appearance and results in a flexible, wrinkle-resistant finish.
Creating a knot in the twill weave, and weaving two or more pieces of fabric simultaneously as if they were one, is called "multiple twill weave."
Compared to a single-layer twill weave, it has a softer texture and more volume.

The fringe also gives off a natural vibe.

Because it has elasticity, it doesn't feel tight and keeps your neck warm.
The comfortable fit with minimal itchiness is a great feature.

The overlapping parts of the fabric are seamless and inconspicuous, so it won't feel bulky around the neck, and it can be used reversibly.
Weighing only about 45g, it's very light and sits gently around your neck without being a burden. The fact that it folds up compactly for easy carrying is also a nice feature.

The warmth of the weaving from Kobo Oiza, meticulously woven one by one on an old-fashioned loom, gently embraces your neck. Please enjoy the story of life woven from materials and techniques.

Of course, it's great for your own use, but how about using it as a gift or present for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, Christmas, Valentine's Day, White Day, and other occasions?
