ISHIGE Yuki Tsumugi : Designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan and registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, it is descended from authentic Yuki Tsumugi. However, due to factors such as the aging population, there is concern about a serious shortage of makers in the future. It is made by spreading the cocoon into floss and spinning it by hand. Even though it is world-wide, this is a characteristic that can only be found in authentic Yuki Tsumugi. Because the warp and weft threads are all hand-spun, they become untwisted threads, and by weaving with those threads, light, soft, air-filled fabrics are warm and refined. The main feature of this fabric is that the warp threads are thicker than the weft threads. By doing so, it becomes a tightly woven cloth, and when you wear it, the impression of your behavior will be neat and beautiful. Another obvious difference is the thickness of the warp and weft threads. It seems that the various fabrics all over the country today have the same thickness in the vertical and horizontal directions, or are thicker in the horizontal direction. On the contrary, authentic Yuki Tsumugi is thick vertically and thin horizontally. ISHIGE Tsumugi is woven using silk threads for the warp and hard-twisted cotton threads for the weft. Similar to the shrinkage of Yuki Tsumugi, it has a smooth texture and is light and does not fall apart.
