Feature1

Tailoring techniques for clerical robes

＿

A sophisticated level of craftsmanship that requires experience accumulated over many years is required to fabricate clerical robes that can endure the harsh training of Buddhist monks.

We inherited such artisanal craftsmanship and consider it vital that we pass on the craft within our organization to ensure that the traditional crafts are not lost.

Feature2

Innovative Japanese paper raw materials

＿

Japanese paper material has an extremely light and smooth texture with superior thermal insulation and moisture absorption capabilities to offer comfortable wear.
The material also features similar strength to cotton.
We would like more people to know about such benefits of Japanese paper material.

Feature3

Revitalization of regional economy in Shiga Prefecture

＿

Kiryu district in Otsu City is the historical land of paper.

Hitoori uses textile made of Japanese paper, developed by fellow Shiga business Yosuke Shoten in the Kiryu district of Otsu City in Shiga Prefecture to aid in revitalizing the region through the use of raw materials that are so rooted in the local community.
