♢♢♢About Nagao Orifu ♢♢♢
A long-established weaver since 1897, Nagao Orifu handles the entire process, from dyeing, to weaving, and finally to the finishing touches. In addition to manufacturing fabrics known as "Awa Shijira-ori," which is our primary product line, we also deal in indigo-dyed products. Among them, shijiraori dyed with natural Awa Indigo Dye is called "Awa sho-an shijira-ori," and is designated as a traditional handicraft.
Nagao Orifu's "Awa Shijira-ori" and "Aizome Indigo" products are created by combining the beautiful water and indigo of Tokushima and the skills of our craftsmen.
Here you can dye your own original silk stole with real indigo.
