[Hanten explanation] The "Kurume cotton-padded hanten" has become a regional industry in Kurume, along with the textile production area. It is said to have started in the 1950s when wholesalers in Kurume commissioned weavers to produce them. The secret to its warmth is the hanten-specific padding, which is a generous blend of cotton made by a long-established futon manufacturer. It has excellent heat retention properties, and as soon as you put it on, it instantly absorbs body heat, releases heat through evaporation, and retains warmth by storing heat in the air layer of the padding. Another characteristic is that it becomes fluffy again when dried in the sun, and the hanten made from a single piece of cotton is supple and comfortable to wear, conforming to the skin.

[100% Cotton Dobby Weave] What is Kurume Weaving?: Fabrics are mainly made using wide looms and the dobby weave. Dobby weaving refers to the mechanism of the loom, which involves opening the frame (the part through which the warp threads pass) at the top and bottom. The more frames there are, the more complex the fabric can be woven. It also allows for the use of multiple colors of weft threads. A characteristic feature is that the arrangement of the threads and the way the reed is can create variations in surface texture and feel. (The reed is the part that beats the threads.) This requires skill, and our dobby weaving uses up to 20 frames to create a variety of weave patterns.
