A Nagoya textile shop handmakes tenugui, small goods, and jika-tabi using the 400-year-old Arimatsu-Narumi shibori tradition.

Why it surfaced

まり木綿 combines vivid, contemporary color with a traditional resist-dyeing technique, while its site documents the workshop, gallery, blog, shop, and hands-on dyeing events. Its philosophy is especially clear: tradition should be used in daily life, not merely displayed—and because every piece is made by hand, no two are exactly alike.
