Aizu cotton is a traditional plain-woven cotton fabric from Fukushima Prefecture that is durable, shrink-resistant, thick, and fluffy, with beautiful striped patterns.
The unique knots created by the wheat flour paste applied to the warp threads trap air in the fabric, making it cool in summer and warm in winter, and providing excellent moisture absorption and heat retention.
The more you use it, the softer it becomes, and it is durable and resistant to washing, so it can be washed at home.Even today, it is loved for a variety of purposes, including fashion and accessories.
The beautiful striped pattern, woven with two or more colors of warp thread, gives the viewer a sense of calm and warmth.
This fabric was popular among common people as work clothes (farm work clothes), and the manufacturing methods and techniques have been passed down to the present day.
Aizu cotton is used for everyday clothing, such as shirts, pants, skirts, and Samue.
I've made it into a dress and love it. It's so comfortable.
