"Surrounded by greenery and clear streams, all you can hear is the nostalgic 'clack, clack' 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 where time passes slowly.

At Kobo Oriza, old-fashioned looms 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 smoothness of silk and the gentle feel of cotton.
This is a lightweight shawl made from a combination of two materials.

The delicate, sheer weave allows light to pass through softly, and the way it is wrapped and layered creates a subtle sense of depth.

Available in three colors: blue, green, and purple.
All of them are striking colors that will add an accent to your outfit.

Gradations and color changes are created within a single piece of fabric by changing the weaving method and threads used.
The kasuri threads are then layered on top of this, creating a gradation and a look with depth.
One of the unique joys of this shawl is that its appearance changes slightly when it is spread out or wrapped around you.

And the soft "grain" applied to the fabric.
The fine unevenness creates subtle shadows, bringing out the richness of the overlapping colors.
It has a dynamic look that is different from plain fabrics.

Simply wrap it around your neck to add a nice accent to your outfit.
While boasting beautiful color development, the thin fabric allows light to pass through gently, softening the color tones. It adds natural depth to your outfit.

The fine grain applied throughout the piece prevents it from being too flashy.
The subtle unevenness softens the sheen, creating an appearance that is both neat and light. It is high-quality, yet somehow has an air of everyday comfort.

When worn loosely over the shoulders, the sheerness allows the body lines to be subtly visible, creating a light, spring-like feel. When spread out or layered, it creates a different look, making it a casually memorable piece.

You can wear it wrapped around your body or as a jacket.
It gently embraces the light and breeze of the season and complements your outfit.

Gentle gloss

Transparency like thin gauze that wraps around the air

A natural fringe with a blunt cut look

Glossy silk and mercerized cotton yarn.
The overlapping of two different textured threads creates a soft, radiant look. The material has a smooth texture, yet somehow exudes a rustic gentleness.

This shawl is seamless, woven as a single piece of fabric rather than having the edges sewn together.
The lack of seams allows the fabric to stretch, so whether you drape it over your shoulders or wrap it around your neck, it doesn't feel stiff. It has a natural drape, so you can wear it however you like.

The fine embossing throughout the fabric not only adds a visual accent but also provides practicality.
After washing, it easily straightens without ironing, and by lightly stretching it to shape it when hanging it to dry, the unique uneven texture will remain just right.

Despite its large size, it weighs only about 85g.
The fabric contains air, creating a soft layer of air between layers of fabric, which warms gently with body heat. It may look cool, but it's also a comforting addition to your wardrobe as the seasons change.

And yet, it folds up small and doesn't take up much space in your bag.
This piece is both light and comfortable, enveloping.
