Plan description

The reason why requests from world brands come in... Kokura Orimono's strength lies in jacquard silk fabrics. An industrial jacquard loom has 14,200 warp (vertical) threads, with weft (horizontal) threads moving back and forth between them. There is slight unevenness in thickness. The craftsman adjusts them while threading, and operates the loom while keeping an eye on it to ensure that it runs smoothly. Today, there are almost no highly specialized craftsmen even within the production area, which is one of the reasons why Kokura Textile receives requests from world-famous brands. Why not visit Kokura Orimono to meet these rare and highly skilled craftsmen? *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.

Major maisons and that brand too! ?? Witness the moment when a very delicate silk jacquard is born

Many people don't know because we don't make final products such as bags and clothes, but at Kokura Textile, we weave textiles of brands that everyone knows, centering on silk jacquard weave. A tour of this program will allow you to witness the moment of birth of the highly delicate and highly skilled silk jacquard, which also deals with the world-famous Maisons.

No longer heritage grade! Browse past archives of Kokura textiles

The history of Kokura textiles is in line with the development of the Japanese silk reeling industry and the jacquard industry in Komatsu. In this program, you can see the important textile archives accumulated by Kokura Textile, which was founded in 1887. Please enjoy the story of each woven fabric when and for what purpose.

A treasure trove ...! Get a bargain from the dead stock sleeping warehouse ♪

At the back of the office of Kokura Textile, there is a secret warehouse directly connected to the building. The dead stock weaved in the past is crunchy there ...! This is the first time for the general public to see this warehouse. Those who visit on the day can purchase the bargains from the warehouse in meter units. Don't miss this opportunity!
