History of Mitsuke knitting

Originally, Mitsuke was famous throughout the country as a production area of ``Mitsuke Yuki'' (cotton fabric) from the late Edo period to the Meiji period. It is recorded that the entire town was very bustling with yarn wholesalers, dye wholesalers, dyeing factories, and weaving shops.

Mitsuke knitting began around 1930. It is said that craftsmen who studied in Tokyo brought their skills back with them. Immediately after the end of the war, production areas rapidly developed, and in the 1950s, riding the wave of high economic growth, Mitsuke's knitting industry grew significantly. Today, as one of the nation's leading textile producing regions with comprehensive production functions, we are disseminating high-quality and fashionable brands.
