"I'm surrounded by greenery and clear streams, and all I can hear is the nostalgic 'clack, clack' sound of the loom..." Kobo Oriza, which produces highly original shawls and scarves on traditional looms, is located deep in the mountains of Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, facing the Seto Inland Sea, in a place blessed with lush greenery and a relaxed atmosphere where time passes slowly.

At Kobo Oriza's old-fashioned weaving machines have become an innovation that spins and produces comfortable fashion products that are enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.

Items made using traditional techniques are becoming more and more familiar with modern fashion. Just as threads intertwine, people and traditions intertwine... The products produced by Kobo Oriza seem to be a bridge connecting the past and the present.

The randomly arranged stripes add a subtle touch of individuality to this piece. At first glance it appears simple, but upon closer inspection the expressive weave and color scheme shines through. It's not flashy, but it quietly matches the wearer's sensibilities - this cotton scarf is packed with "playfulness" for adults.

The color scheme is calm and chic. It is not too flashy, but not too plain, and the exquisite balance makes it easy to match with your everyday outfit. The design can be used by people of all ages and genders.

This scarf is made using extra thick warp yarn, giving it just the right thickness and volume for a casual look.
Although it looks sturdy, it is soft and flexible to the touch, making it easy to wrap around your neck.
The length, including the fringe, is 155cm, which is relatively short, and it looks nice whether wrapped single or double.

This is a highly practical item that will come in handy during the change of seasons or on chilly days.
The muted colour makes it easy to coordinate with other items and blends naturally with simple outfits.
This is a piece that can be recommended to a wide range of people, regardless of gender or age.

Long fringe

"I want to create a stylish scarf that absorbs sweat like a towel scarf, but is also soft to the touch." This scarf was born from that idea.

This is the first attempt by Kobo Oriza to use extra thick yarn for the warp threads. By using thin, tightly twisted yarn for the weft, a vertical stripe pattern is created that looks like knitwear, resulting in a unique design in which only the warp threads stand out.

Although casual, attention has been paid to the details, and the flexibility of the warp threads means that it fits naturally to the body, making this a piece that combines functionality and design.

A quiet workshop surrounded by lush nature, deep in the mountains of Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture.
There, they restore shuttle looms from 100 years ago and make their own modifications to produce one-of-a-kind weaving methods and shapes.
Why not enrich your everyday life with special textiles that are a blend of tradition and innovation and are only available at Kobo Oriza?
