What is Kofu?
"Kofu"
originally means "traditional fabric" in Japanese. It has been
made out of natural fibers such as silk, cotton and linen, and has been
used for Kimono clothing as well as accessories and interiors for hundreds
years in Japan. Today, they have many kinds of Kofu which were developed
and refined locally and independently in many areas of Japan. Chirimen,
Yuzen, Kasuri, Ohshima Tsumugi, Sarasa and Ai are examples of Kofu, which
derived from the methods of weaving and dyeing, or from the names of the
fabric producing districts.
