Makers of Ojiya chijimi follow processes using traditional technology and skills as they are the requirements for the designation of Important Intangible Cultural Property.
However, there are traditional crafts that create “kasuri” patterns using spun yarns and power loom as well as Ojiya chijimi that has no “kasuri” patterns, creating a new color sensation. These items greatly reduce the production cost, enabling more people to enjoy them.
Makers continue to use choma plants and create “shibo” (crease), and Ojiya chijimi are considered to be high-quality hemp materials. Whilst protecting the traditions, they are making advancement with modern perspectives.
