Iga’s Kyomaruya was born in Iga from the fascination of the mysterious
existence of ninjas.
Sukajan is short for Yokosuka Jumper, and it started as an outfit worn by American soldiers stationed in Yokosuka, who added Japanese-style embroidery on their jackets.
In Kyomaruya, the decorative cords used on the sleeves of the Sukajan are made of “Iga Kumihimo”, Iga’s traditional craft.
The design is based on anthropomorphic cats that frequently appear in ukiyo-e traditional paintings, which blends the touch of Sukajan style.
It is represented with embroidery based on the horizontal traditional needle handling.The finished Sukajan has an uninterrupted fabric softness and forms a beautiful drape.The inner pocket can accommodate a long wallet and is easy to use by everyone, regardless of gender.
Please try Sukajan, a fusion of Iga’s tradition and Kyomaruya's unique manufacturing method.
Aloha shirts are characterized by their smooth, crisp fabric and bold patterns. Its roots are in Japanese yukata and kimono.
As with kimono, the Iga Kumihimo Aloha shirt fabric is made using over 10 large plates, and colors are layered on top of each other.
This is a skillful technique that can only be achieved by a Kyoyuzen dyeing factory established in 1933.
The decorative loop for the first button is arranged on Iga kumihimo, and the original buttons are made of deer antlers from Mie Prefecture, each of which is hand carved.
The Aloha shirt designs are all hand-drawn, as they were in those days when there were no computers.
