"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.

The "ChottoCore" series, a long-selling product from Kobo Orika, has been on the market for over 15 years.
It's well-known for being easy to use, allowing anyone to roll it evenly and perfectly without needing any difficult techniques.

Made of 100% wool, it's lightweight yet keeps you warm.
It is finished with a seamless, completely unstitched construction.

Reversible design that completely changes the look depending on which side is facing out.
You can combine a color you want to use as an accent with a color that can be used as a basic, and change it depending on your mood or outfit, such as using one color as the main color or twisting it to show both sides.

You can also use it as a turban or headband by putting the ends through the hole and wearing it on your head.

You can wrap it around your neck, tie it to the side, or twist the front and back patterns to show them off.

It's perfect for quickly warming your neck on chilly days, or as an accent when your outfit feels a little lacking.

It's perfect for spending time at home or going out, but it's also recommended for active times like gardening, outdoor activities, or cycling, as it's not easy to come undone.

The method of wrapping is very simple. Just pass one end through the tunnel-like hole of the other end, and the shape will be formed immediately.

The short fringe that isn't too flashy is cute◎

The fabric is slowly woven using the "Toyota Y-type loom" and the "Tsuda Komo loom," which were independently modified by the Kobo Orika workshop from shuttle looms that are 100 years old. If the weave is too tight, the fabric becomes stiff, and if it is too loose, it becomes limp and flabby, so the fineness of the weave is adjusted in millimeter increments.

Made with slub yarn, which has uneven thickness to create a tousled, nuanced look throughout, and woven with a "multiple plain weave" that is soft yet durable.

Because it's a structure that allows you to quickly create a shape with one action and is not easily disfigured, it's easy to incorporate even for beginners who are new to scarves or those who are not good at wrapping scarves, so I highly recommend it.

How about a meticulously crafted scarf made by Japanese artisans, not only for your own use, but also as a gift or present for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, Valentine's Day, White Day, Christmas, and other occasions?
