Recently, traditional Japanese fashion has become the inspiration for many modern fashion brands in Japan. These brands are committed to creating high quality goods that are made with cultural essence.
Today we’ll be introducing 5 Japanese fashion items that are made using Japanese technology with very close attention to detail .
WASHI DENIM
The weft thread is used for washi paper because it is extremely light, super sweat absorbent and is quick to dry. The fibres are thin, long and tough, making it a long-lasting cultural asset to japan. This material is used for repairing, and is valued for its ability to retain its soft and flexible texture. You can buy a pair of personalised washi jeans with a woven name or special rivets – something you shouldn’t miss out on.

T-shirts made using traditional methods from the Edo period.
“BIWACOTTON” is a T-shirt brand that makes shirts using traditional methods from the Edo period.
“Suteteko” is a type of traditional underwear from the Edo period that is still being made in the city of Takashima today. BIWACOTTON has combined the manufacturing techniques that were used to make “Suteteko“ with modern T-shirt-making to create a new kind of modern T-shirt. Although the T-shirts are made from 100% cotton, they have good ventilation and maintain the same fresh feel of Suteteko. This is the most suitable T-shirt to wear during harsh and humid Japanese summers.
