Silk stretches and shrinks when tension is applied. Therefore, during the manufacturing process, great care is taken to avoid putting tension on the threads as much as possible. "Kase-zome" is the optimal technique as it dyes the threads loosely in a circular shape. Due to the labor involved, this method is becoming increasingly rare. ●Weaving It is also woven in the Nishijin district of Kyoto. It is woven at Orishin, a long-established weaving mill that is a top-class manufacturer in the tie industry in Japan. Using traditional low-speed looms, "weaving with loose threads" and "firmly beating in the weft threads" are techniques that cannot be achieved with modern high-speed machines. This results in fabric with both volume and a firm texture. ●Finishing Pressing can also cause silk to flatten and shrink. Many manufacturers avoid pressing for this reason, considering the natural drape to be part of its charm. However, as some customers are concerned about wrinkles, this product is only lightly pressed to smooth it out. Business, New Employee, Ceremony, Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Commute, Company, New Life
