Tango textiles (Kyotango and Yosano, Kyoto Prefecture)

1.Introduction

In the Tango production area, they weave "Tango Chirimen ", which has a unique, uneven texture created by the grain in the fabric, and 70% of the country’s production volume of kimono post dyeing fabric (outer material) originates here.

This area is a textile production area that can lead the kimono culture, as it is responsible for most of the production of yarn dyed textiles such as the Nishijin obi.
In order to disseminate Tango's weaving technology to the world, we launched the brand "TANGO OPEN" that coexists with Tango Chirimen , and various textiles are manufactured outside the framework of Tango Chirimen.
