This is inlay-knitted shirt is made from aged cotton on a loopwheel machine. Cotton is usually transported in compressed bails, but by slowly maturing it in a temperature and humidity controlledroom for 30 to 50 days, we were able to restore the compressed cotton to its original plump and fluffy glory. It is with this aged cotton that we spin up our threads and have them knitted on a vintage machine in Wakayama.
Under normal conditions, these old loopwheel machines can only produce about 1 meter of fabric
per hour. In our case however, because we are using high-gauge thread for difficult inlay knitting, only about 48cm of fabric per hour is possible. It may sound inefficient and time consuming, but the result is a small quantity of soft material that is almost moist to the touch and, while being quite thick, stretches less than standard hanging knitted fabric. We’ve also taken the silhouette into consideration, and even though this is knitted on a loopwheel machine, it features split sides.
SPEC : 18/- LOOPWHEELED INLAY FABRIC / ONE-WASH / BINDER-NECK WITH 3 NEEDLS
The Seven Gods of Good Fortune (Shichifukujin) were seven deities that arose in the late Muromachi Period (around 1500) and were devoutly worshipped among the common people. It is said that worshippers who visit shrines enshrining the Seven Gods of Good Fortune will be rid of seven kinds of misfortune while also receiving seven kinds of happiness or blessings. Some of these deities are said to have originated not only in Japan but also in India and China, where they were then introduced to Japan and are still worshipped today.The two deities depicted here are Daikokuten and Ebisuten. Daikokuten, holding a mallet in his right hand and a pouch in his left, is believed to be the god of good fortune, while Ebisuten, holding a sea bream (fish) in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right, is believed to be the god of prosperous business. These two are deeply-worshipped, and in Japan it's still very common for business people to regularly visit shrines enshrining these two important deities.
