oriori -structured fabric-

oriori - 'Structured Fabric', a new application of traditional Japanese craftmanship from Kiryu

'Ori' is one of the the long established Japanese traditional fabric that is commonly used for 'obi' the japanese Kimono belt. By talking to craftsman and observing the technique, we rediscovered the uniquenesses of this 'ori' that are tactile delight, thickness control of the fabric and strength which can actually create structure. 'Ori' also means 'Folding' in Japanese as you may recognise this in 'Origami', the japanese folding paper craft. So, our 'oriori' means foldable japanese traditional fabric. It is so unique that we don't need complicated manufacturing process like add this and add that. It is simply waving as one go.

長年磨き上げられてきた、日本の伝統的な「織り」の技術には、しっかりとした生地の肌触り、厚みを自在にコントールできる、構造体をつくれるほどの強さ、といった特色があり、それらのユニークな強みを活かした「oriori – Structured Fabric」という新しい生地を提案します。第二次加工の必要のない、つまり一度で織り上げられる生地であるにも関わらず、様々なパターンが折り重なり、パタパタと表情をかえる非常に魅力のある生地だと思っています。。
