neo Chichibu Meisen
秩父銘仙の伝統技術を基に、新たな表現技巧で現代のセンスを吹き入れる秩父銘仙織元の新啓織物の反物を使用。
秩父銘仙は大正・昭和初期に流行し、2013年に国の伝統的工芸品に指定された絹織物。経糸に模様を型染めし、緯糸を織るほぐしおりの技術により表裏がないのも特徴。角度によって色の見え方が異なる玉虫効果が見られるものもあり、軽く着心地もよく通気性、保温性に富んでいる。

Based on the traditional techniques of Chichibu Meisen, we use textile from Arakei Orimono, a Chichibu Meisen textile manufacturer that infuses modern flair with new expressive techniques. Chichibu Meisen is a silk fabric that became popular during the Taisho and early Showa periods and was designated as a national traditional craft in 2013. It is also characterized by the fact that there is no front or back side due to the hogushiori technique, in which the warp is dyed with a pattern and the weft is woven. Some have an iridescent effect where the color looks different depending on the angle, and they are lightweight, comfortable, breathable, and heat-retaining.
