[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.

NISHIKI

There are two ways of expressing "nishiki" in a Chinese character. According to a dictionary, it is said that the character "nishiki" was made by laying two characters "kin" and "kinu" (which mean gold and silk) side by side, for patterns for nishiki are woven with variously colored silk threads and the price is very expensive like gold. Nishiki can be roughly classified into two kinds - "keikin" and "ikin". In the former the background color and the patterns are effected by colored warps, and in the latter effected by colored wefts. These nishiki were already used as the coats for noble men in the Chou Period (B.C12-3Century) in China, and since then they have been admired by people as a gorgeous and expensive fabric.In Japan some records for nishiki can be seen in such old books as Kojiki and Nippon Shoki. Throughout intervening centuries nishiki has been used for costumes, sash materials, mounting, altar cloths, surplices and Noh costumes. The kinds of nishiki are so many today, however, and nishiki becomes a popular name for all silk fabrics of which exquisite patterns are woven by using wefts of various materials including threads and leaves in gold and silver.
