In January 2023, with Ushikubi Tsumugi, one of the traditional crafts of Ishikawa Prefecture,
Former designer of "HERMÈS" tailors clothes from fabrics such as high-end pongee
MIZEN produced a collaboration with ARLNATA.
Mizen's original rolls made for the project and items brought in by the weavers
From more than 80 types of cloth that are rarely seen together,
We make both kimono and clothes. Mr. Nishiyama, the representative of Hakusan Koubou, one of the textile manufacturers, visited us for four days.
You can connect with wonderful traditional Japanese techniques such as Ushikubi Tsumugi and its production area.
We offer a rare experience from here in Aoyama, Tokyo.
Shiramine, Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture, where Ushikubi Tsumugi is produced, is located at the trailhead of Mt. Hakusan.
Shiramine is a heavy snowfall area with a snowfall of 3 to 4 meters.
They made a living by weaving cloth. At that time, two silkworms jointly made one cocoon.
Ushikubi Tsumugi is the fabric woven mainly from the tama cocoon.
Hakusan has been revered as an object of faith for its water of life.
Ushikubi Tsumugi, which has inherited the tradition in the land,
It has a charm different from other pongee.
