Description

Timeless Elegance: The Essence of Japanese Beauty Woven by Seiwa.

Since its founding in 1945, Seiwa has been deeply rooted in the art of creating Nishijin-ori obi (traditional woven sashes), a hallmark of Japanese craftsmanship. Initially established as a manufacturer of parts for obi-weaving machinery in the early 1970s, the company transitioned into obi production itself through partnerships with prestigious names such as Kawashima Textile Mills. Today, Seiwa embodies a legacy of artistry, combining both traditional and modern designs with exceptional skill.

Under the guidance of its third-generation president, Seiwa has participated in the restoration of ancient fabrics from Nara's historic Shōsōin Repository, showcasing its commitment to preserving tradition while embracing innovative expressions. Each Nishijin-ori obi is crafted using a handloom, featuring intricate techniques and 100% domestically sourced silk, resulting in a supple, graceful texture. The silk’s smooth finish and gentle, radiant sheen enhance the wearer’s elegance and sophistication.

Seiwa’s meticulous production and stringent quality control ensure that each obi is a lifetime treasure. Combining the beauty of Japanese tradition with the premium qualities of silk, these Nishijin-ori obi are perfect for ceremonial occasions and serve as an enduring symbol of refinement and culture.
