<<<< Ichiyo Tradition >>>
The western part of Aichi Prefecture today is called Owari or Bishu, and is rich in mulberry fields necessary for silk production and soil suitable for cotton fields, and the textile industry has been thriving since the Nara period.
The world's three major woolen production areas are said to be Huddersfield in England, Biella in Italy, and Bishu in Japan. (Quoted from BISHU https://bishu-japan.com/)
Ichiyo Senko devised a special dyeing process that was not the mainstream at the time, while dyeing was also developed for high-quality fabrics such as Bishu wool.
In particular, hemp fabric could not be woven without this method.
At the same time, we developed threads that could be woven locally, and boasted an outstanding production volume for hemp dyeing.
The Japanese textile industry peaked around the 1980s and has continued to decline in both production and export volumes. Dyeing in Aichi Prefecture, also known as the textile kingdom, was no exception.
However, we have continued to work with the ideal of "genuine", cherishing the craftsmanship and ethos that have been passed down in Ichinomiya City, the city of textiles.
Ichiyo Senko's strengths are manifested in the outstanding technical skills of each and every staff member, and the delicate manual work supported by experience and intuition, even on a small scale.
＜＜＜Strength of Ichiyo Senko ＞＞＞
The greatest strength of Ichiyo Senko is that it is possible to do special dyeing that is difficult for other companies to handle.
It is to make use of such know-how as a proposal to solve customers' problems.
That's why we started to expand our business.
