It is a modern city that is steadily developing as an economic, cultural and tourist hub.
It was in this Fukuoka prefecture that ORISM was born.

An encounter with the traditional craft "Hakata-ori"

Have you heard of "Hakata-ori," a traditional textile that originated in Fukuoka Prefecture, where such diverse cultures intersect?

A beautiful craft that has been passed down for generations, Hakata-ori features distinctive patterns, exquisite craftsmanship and intricate designs in obi and kimono that are highly prized the world over for their quality and beauty.

We were enthralled by the beauty of the fabric, which is characterized by a pattern made up of warp and weft threads called "Kenjogara," and began our activities with a small idea in mind: "Is there somehow we can help spread this noble and beautiful item to the world?"

This is when the planning of various products that take advantage of the characteristics of local content begins.

The long road to commercialization

It was no easy task to interpret a traditional craft in a modern way and turn it into a product.

After many failures, and with the cooperation of various companies from different industries for color adjustments, sewing processing, etc., it took a year and a half to finally complete a prototype.
