“Surrounded by greenery and clear streams, all I can hear is the nostalgic “clack-clack” of the loom…” Kobo Oriza, which creates original scarves and mufflers on traditional looms, is located in the mountains of Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, facing the Seto Inland Sea—a nature-rich, lush green place where time flows slowly.

Kobo Oriza’s vintage looms are innovating the creation of comfortable fashion products enjoyed by people of all ages.

Among them is the rare “Yuragi-ori” muffler, featuring a design with soft, flowing waves. This weaving technique was awarded the “Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the 3rd Japan Manufacturing Award.”

Items created with traditional techniques are blending into modern fashion. Just as threads intertwine, people and tradition intertwine as well… the products created by Kobo Oriza seem to serve as a bridge connecting the past and present.

A large wool shawl woven with a striking plaid pattern that combines wide stripes and block checks.

Rather than creating a pattern by layering colors like a typical check, each color is vividly expressed through an innovative weaving method. The sharp, structure-like grid creates depth and dimension on the flat woven fabric.

The material is made from 100% extra-fine merino wool with fine fibers. The delicate diagonal weave of the suigaya-ori adds suppleness and subtle shading, resulting in a smooth, elegant texture.

A reliable piece that can not only be wrapped around the neck but also worn as a cape.
