The hogushi-ori technique, which is synonymous with the company, is a complex process that involves weaving a tentative cloth with one tentative thread every few centimeters, applying colors one by one by hand printing, removing the dyed threads, and then weaving the cloth again. This technique is passed on to the next generation by Kimie Yamaguchi, a traditional craftsman. “On a dreary rainy day, I want people to have an umbrella that makes them feel better, even just mood-wise”, says Yamaguchi as she inherits the romanticism of the first generation and continues to hone her craft every day. https://tokyoteshigoto.tokyo/studio/montblanc/ https://www.montblanc-y.co.jp
