Hamamatsu, Japan
High-Density Cotton
KINTO FUTO's High-Density Cotton begins in Hamamatsu, Japan, on traditional
shuttle looms: weaving machines that use a boat-shaped shuttle to slowly carry
the yarn back and forth.
This technique creates a wonderfully distinctive
texture that's soft, lightweight, and firm. While there were once over 1,600
weaving houses operating on shuttle looms in the Enshu region, all but 40 remain.
Within these select few, trained artisans work to keep the
tradition alive today.
