[Restoration of Meibutsu-gire]
The founder, Heizo Tatsumura, raised the status of textiles to the level of art as a leading figure through the restoration of ancient textiles and famous textiles. That spirit has been passed down through generations and continues to this day. Knowledge gained from thorough research on ancient textiles from raw materials, technology acquired by knowing all kinds of techniques.
The comprehensive power of weaving that makes full use of these is the basis for restoring ancient textiles.

Pattern Description

Hanakarakusa Ryuhoumon Nishiki
The tea container with the name "Ankokuji" was sold to Hosokawa Yūsai and Sansai, then to Ankokuji Keikō, then to Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tsuda Hidemasa, and then back to Sansai. There were 11 types of covers. Among them, this red brocade is the most flamboyant. The original poem has faded and is no longer as gorgeous as this one.

The special feature of this brocade is that the weft of the ground is made of knotted high-twisted yarn to create a stringy texture, while the weft of the picture is made of untwisted yarn to softly express flowers and leaves. In the process of restoration, we not only used these yarns, but also drew out the vivid colors from the partially remaining colored yarns to create the splendid atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.
