Yamanashi "Makita Shoten" collaboration realized umbrella fabric strap.
In Yamanashi, dragonfly motifs are often seen, but in fact, dragonflies only fly forward, which is why they are called "winning insects." Due to this belief in good fortune, historical figures such as Takeda Shingen and other samurai from the Warring States period used them inside their armor. The dragonfly motif, which symbolizes Yamanashi where Makita Shoten is located, serves as an icon representing the story of this MUSUBU PROJECT.

Water-repellent and waterproof processing. Water-repellent processing technology
Generally, fabrics with uneven surfaces, such as jacquard weaving, are considered difficult to process. The 'Shinta Seiri' is the process of applying water-repellent treatment to the fabric woven at Makita Shoten. They are also a partner that started a joint business when Makita Shoten began producing umbrella fabric 50 years ago. The fabric undergoes two types of processing: washing for water-repellent (repelling water) and waterproof (preventing water from penetrating the fabric). A large amount of water is used here, and by washing with natural water from Fuji, impurities in the fabric are washed away.
The adoption of the dragonfly pattern favored by samurai warlords.
Dragonflies are known as "victory insects" because they continue to fly forward without retreating, and have been used as good luck charms since ancient times, often seen on the armor of samurai warlords. Due to the fondness of warlords like Takeda Shingen, many dragonfly motifs remain in Yamanashi. The dragonfly pattern used in Makita Shoten's umbrellas has also been adopted in Knot's belts.
Handcraft
One of the biggest features of Makita Shoten is the use of a French loom that can weave large pieces of fabric. The jacquard weaving expresses patterns through the combination of warp and weft threads. 12,000 warp threads, as fine as a hair, are set into the machine. The entire thread setup is done by skilled artisans by hand, and this adjustment is crucial for weaving the fabric.
