Strengths and Characteristics
-
Awa Shijira-ori to Japan and the World
Awa Shijira-ori is characterized by its unique texture, known as "shibo," which refers to the uneven surface of the fabric. Thanks to this texture, the fabric offers a soft, comfortable feel and is light and cool. In order to share the excellence of Awa Shijira-ori not only within Japan but also with people around the world, they actively engage in online activities and participate in international exhibitions.

Combination with Awa Indigo Dye
They also produce products dyed with Awa Indigo. Using natural Awa Indigo, skilled artisans carefully dye each piece by hand. With repeated use, the indigo dye deepens, adding a more refined texture over time.
