Tango has a long tradition and history as a silk textile producing region, with the creation of ashiginu in the Nara period, kosode in the Muromachi period, chirimen and its distinctive crinkled surface in the Edo period, and following the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods, it has come to occupy an established position today as an integrated center for the weaving and dyeing of everything from traditional Japanese apparel to clothing fabric.
The local community is an integrated production area capable of carrying out all the processes involved in manufacturing and development of textiles in one place. Expert techniques and experience cultivated over many years as a silk-producing area are utilized in the refining, dyeing, and finishing processes. At the processing factory directly-managed by the association, we contribute to clothing and fashion culture with processing techniques tailored to the needs of the market.
