Fabrics Friendly to People & the Earth
Giving satisfaction through the creation of fine fabrics
Fujiyoshida is the place of textile with 1000 years of tradition. Located 700m above sea level in the foothills north of Mt. Fuji, amid fresh air, spring waters and abundant natural beauty, it is home to GEN MAEDA & CO., LTD..
Since its founding in 1921, We have spared no effort to offer products which delight our customers.
Our spirit is “Natural, Earth-friendly products” and we offer a wide range of naturally produced goods from handkerchiefs to stoles to interior design.
Preserving the tradition of Kaiki silk, we have added new sensibilities while respecting nature, continually seeking fabrics for the future.
Blessing of Nature and Craftsmanship
The spirit of sure skill applied to every detail
We use some 15 colors of vegetabele dye. They are first decocted to remove impurities and extract the pigments. Then the hot-washed thread is dyed. Other steps include cold-washing, draining, and fixing, and at each step pure spring water from Mt. Fuji is indispensable.
The thread is sun-dried for several days and strictly checked before it is finished.
Consummate skill and high standards maintain our firm’s high quality.
