Japan’s Fashionable Area, Aoyama
When talking about "Tokyo's fashion district", Aoyama is one of the top places to be mentioned.
In the middle of Harajuku and Omotesando, Aoyama is not only a favorite for locals but full of foreign tourists from various countries.
Today's article is about introducing a specialty shawl store that sells beautiful and one of a kind MADE IN JAPAN shawls.
This special store is called, Koma aoyama.
Koma aoyama, “An Artisanal Production in the Traditions of the Past”
Unlike big brands using completely industrialized production methods, Koma aoyama continues to perpetuate traditions using artisanal weaving methods. Each thread is chosen with care in order to create shawls with the irreproachable quality. Soft to the touch, this work of artisans results in unique products containing finesse and ease of use.
It is a concept that yarn and thread gently overlap without forcibly pulling. Thanks to that, if you have a little hole or dent, gently stroke the thread, and it will return to its original form. Actually, since this low-speed weaving loom machine isn't manufactured anymore, craftsmen make the shawls directly by hand which requires skills obtained from many years of experience.
