"Mino" is a poncho brand born in Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture, one of Japan's leading knitwear production areas, inspired by the "mino" raincoat, a traditional winter garment worn in snowy regions.

"Mino" is made by Saifuku, a manufacturer that has been making products specializing in knitwear since 1963. Gosen City is blessed with abundant, high-quality water and has flourished as a silk textile production area since the mid-Edo period, and after the war developed into a major center for the knitwear industry. They continue to hone their knitwear techniques and ideas, along with the know-how that has been passed down in the production area.

"Nico" is a rectangular knitted poncho with two holes on either end for your hands to fit through. In addition to being worn as a poncho, it can also be worn around the neck as a stole.

The three colors express the ever-changing and elusive hues of natural scenery.
The colours appear simple, but upon closer inspection you will see that the linen thread has been dyed in complex colour combinations.
