Johana silk was established approximately 430 years ago in Johana City located in Toyama Prefecture; the craft particularly flourished during the Edo period when silk fabrics woven in Johana and Komatsu were protected. Johana silk uses Shike Silk; silk made from cocoons created by two silkworms, which is extremely rare. These cocoons make up only three percent of total cocoons and yield a thicker thread. These cocoons are then used to weave beautiful, light, and comfortable textiles. Johana Ori fabrics pride themselves on being moisture-absorbent, deodorizing, and versatile in use. Johana Ori can be woven in a variety of different ways, and is often used for wallpaper or Japanese sliding doors; however the thread is woven, this fabric’s high quality and speciality weaving ensures the final product is comfortable and beautiful.
