Watanabe Textile

A textile brand run by Ryuyasu Watanabe, the third generation owner of Watanabe Orimono, which has a factory in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture. With architecture, photography, and art as the background for his creations, he pursues new possibilities for textiles centered on natural materials. I handle everything from design to weaving myself. It is also a textile maison that provides fabrics to many fashion and other brands. He continues to create based on his own experiences and the sensations he unconsciously senses from the rich nature of the northern foot of Fuji.
