[4 colors] kobooriza YURAGI wool scarf for women and men [K-MF-YG02] Ehime Imabari stole woven brand

"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.

A scarf accented with a tricolor color scheme and a subtle shimmering pattern.

At first glance, it may seem like a rough and delicate fabric.
But don't worry. This fabric is made using a technique called "mojiri weaving," which means that the warp threads are tightly weaved together to tightly bind the weft threads, making it a strong weave that is less likely to become distorted even with a coarse weave.

This results in a finish that is both delicate in appearance and durable, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful twill pattern for a long time without it falling apart.

Wrap it around once and tie both ends Color: Vermilion

It looks good even if you just wrap it around yourself.
Color: Canary

The color scheme features one accent color and two natural colors to create an impressive look no matter how you wrap it.
We also recommend using the classic Milanese wrap or one-loop wrap to highlight the color accents.

A great accent for autumn and winter outfits, which tend to be dark.
Just a quick knot will give it a fluffy look around your neck, creating a natural shape.

The casual texture is not too elegant, so it is an item that men can easily wear. It is also perfect for couples to share.

Thin yet warm material

Both ends of the fabric are carefully tied with tassels by hand by artisans.

The soft texture of wool is well conveyed while keeping the thickness low. It is gentle on the skin and does not itch easily, so it is an item that you can wear comfortably for long periods of time. In the middle of winter, it is a reliable piece that can be wrapped compactly around the neck to protect you from the cold wind.

This scarf was woven on a Toyoda Y-type loom that was manufactured approximately 110 years ago.
Rather than using the looms from that time as they are, all of the parts have been modified to turn them into "new looms" that weave using the original "vertical yoroke mojiri weaving" technique.

It would also make a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, or a 60th birthday celebration.
