Description

history

Nara, which has been the center of dynasty culture since ancient times, has been recognized to produce fine textiles for a variety of applications such as luxurious court architecture and for interior ceremonies of temples and shrines even after the Heian period when the capital of Japan was moved.

Japanese traditional techniques

In the Edo period, Nara bleaching developed greatly by fusing with cotton fabric techniques such as Yamato cotton and Yamato Kasuri. Until then, cotton yarn was generally pinched by hand, but in the Meiji era, mechanical spinning was introduced, and hemp mosquito nets that used mechanically spun yarn for the warp yarn became widespread. Since then, mosquito nets, which were out of reach of the general public as luxury goods, have become familiar at once, and have made great progress as a local industry in Nara.

Family business, our origins

In Nara, our family has been engaged in the manufacturing of mosquito net with fine mesh fabrics for many years. Our grandmother, who is the current head of the family, tried to make the most effective use of the fabric when cutting the cloth in the production of the mosquito net. This original idea was very well received by the society in Japan with very positive comments. That was the beginning of "Shirayuki Fuukin", at that time it was already manufactured with several dimensions so that more people could purchase it for different applications.

"Shirayuki Fuukin", which makes the best use of the textile with a traditional Japanese hand-made technology that has been passed down already several generations in our family, is also dedicated to the wiping of the Great Buddha every year on August 7th at Todaiji Temple in Nara.

In-house design

Around 1956, when Shirayuki Fuukin was born, plain cloth was the mainstream of cloth at that time. Dusters are a tool that we use every day, even as our lifestyles change over time. "I wish I could add brilliance to my daily dining table and kitchen work with just one piece of that cloth", based on that idea, the current head of the family came up with the idea of designing the cloth by himself. Since then, the number of designs has increased with great variety of possibilities.

Dyeing Art of Kyo-Yuzen

This traditional dyeing technique has been used in all manners of Japanese textile production ever since.
