Since the early Edo period, Kokura Ori has been woven as a hakama or obi in the Buzen Kokura Domain and the current Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

Ieyasu Tokugawa also used cotton cloth as a haori during falconry, and was prized all over Japan.

It was also loved by Sakamoto Ryoma and others of late Tokugawa shogunate.

Meiji period, boys' school clothes and summer clothes have been newly expanded nationwide.

However, in the early Showa era during the war, Ogura Ori was temporarily cut off.

It was restored in 1984 after trial and error from a small piece of cloth that Noriko Tsuiki, a dyer (senshokuka), and was regenerated as a modern cloth.

Predyed fabric made of high quality cotton yarn.

Compared to other cotton products, fine cotton yarn is about three times more often used for warp.

So it's thick and durable.

Moreover, the fabric has a luster, giving it a very smooth texture.

It is high density, and if it is a small amount of water, it will burst on the surface of the dough.

Due to the high warp color, the weft is not visible, which is the expression of the stripe.

Also, if you use it for many years, it will have a texture like tanned leather.

This is the third exhibition of "Kokura Ori", which looks like a Kiya-san, which raises noren of "Kiya Kon" from ancient times.

However, as mentioned in the Rosemari article in "Tool Sound New Life Support 2" on April 22, last year, it has been introduced other than that.

Dyeing and weaving family, presided over Yuyu dyeing and weaving workshop in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

Member of the Japan Kogei Association.

Born in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture in 1952.

Mr. Tsukijo, who graduated from art college or was not born in a craftsman's house, felt attractive in Noh costumes, and while learning weaving, he came to meet the edge of Kokura Ori and wanted to regenerate it.

Ogura Ori, which had been cut off in production, has been restored, plant dyeing, and Ogura Ori's work has been announced by hand.

"Striped stripes SHIMA-SHIMA" is responsible for selecting threads and supervising textile design.

It is created with the aim of creating a landing point that links what can only be done by hand and what can only be done by machine.

"Striped stripes SHIMA-SHIMA" is a brand created by machine weaving, under the supervision of the design by Noriko Tsukijo and taking advantage of the strong and beautiful freshly striped stripes of Ogura Ori.

While becoming wide and inheriting tradition, it has expanded its use in various fields such as fashion and interior as a more modern general-purpose product.

As Ogura Ori in a new era, we are also collaborating with creators not only in Japan but also around the world.

Then, I would like to introduce the Ogura Ori's items that I kept you waiting.

All prices are tax-included.

IFK (IFK) is clothes. "You can wear it like clothes."

This two-way front hook is hung around the neck and wrapped around the waist.

One-size-fits-all.

The traditional style of this is worn as a uniform as a staff member of Kiya, so the style of use is always demonstrated.

In 2018 fluctuation, the number of pockets has been increased compared to the conventional model, making it more durable.

It's easy to use for both men and women, and it's nice to have different patterns for each couple.

And I would like to add a supplementary explanation of the two ways ...

The model is Mr. Oba.

Instead of "floating" in the image on two images, they wore the same shape of IFK type and thick stripes.

The upper "front hanging" is folded in half and stabilized through the string.

Some Kiya staff and some people wear this way.

If it is a conventional size, it may be a little large for a small Oba-san.

So what was recently developed...

The front hanging S size is a front hanging that is easy for small women to work, and a new small size is made.

Since it has a thick shoulder strap, the burden is lighter than the conventional one, and the shoulder strap is not stiff.

A form specializing in cafe-types.

This cafe apron has slits on the side.

Like the other, the Komono series is made one by one by one, so the number that can be done at a time is small.

It's also perfect as a ticket holder.
