Story
120th anniversary
Morikiku, established in 1897 during the Meiji era, is a comprehensive textile trading company. Its headquarters is located in the scenic city of Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture, surrounded by mountains on three sides and overlooking Mikawa Bay. This region, once known as Mikawa Province, is also reputed to be the site where cotton was first introduced to Japan. We are a professional group specialized in natural fiber textiles. For example, when consulted about materials for work clothes worn at construction sites during summer, we propose materials with optimal functions, weight, and durability, and shape these textiles according to customer requests.
We can also analyze and replicate textiles from fragments. Our team is skilled in identifying the true nature of threads, anticipating textile design, and applying appropriate processing to create fabrics. Every one of us possesses this knowledge and expertise.
In 2018, we launched a fabric brand specialized in sustainable materials with minimal environmental impact, named "NATURE & SONS®." Additionally, we handle Mikawa cotton, a traditional local textile, and are actively expanding overseas. While preserving our history and tradition, we are committed to manufacturing that connects broadly to the future.
