Takanoguchi pile is a traditional textile from the area (Hashimoto City, Kudoyama Town, Katsuragi Town) centered around the former Takanoguchi Town (currently Hashimoto City Takanoguchi Town) in Wakayama Prefecture, and is characterized by its ability to provide a wide variety of textiles.
Its history as a production area begins with wood textiles during the Edo period. The history of Takanoguchi Pile dates back to the early Meiji era, when Yasuke Maeda devised a special fabric manufacturing method called ``Saiori,'' which took advantage of the background in which sericulture and weaving were popular . Seal fabrics were developed in the Taisho period, and grew along with the development of synthetic fibers in the Showa period. We are currently working on developing new applications.
What is re-ori? - Re-ori is a chenille fabric that originated in Czech and German Europe and was introduced to Japan in the early Meiji period. Maeda, a native of Takanoguchi, Wakayama Prefecture, acquired this beautiful fabric. Mr. Yasuke tried his best to create this type of fabric, so he devised a machine from scratch and created a re-woven fabric unique to Japan. Re-weaving requires a lot of time and patience, as the woven fabric is cut in the warp direction to create molle thread, and then the molle thread are woven into weft thread again to reproduce the pattern. Reori was invented around 1888 and was exported overseas as tablecloths and curtains from the Meiji period to the Taisho period and the beginning of the Showa period, and was well received.

*"Takanoguchi Pile" is registered as a regional collective trademark.
For the fur part, acrylic or modacrylic, which is the closest in texture to animal hair among chemical fibers, is used.
The quotation is provided below.
Polyacrylonitrile synthetic fibers are classified into ``acrylic'' and ``modacrylic.'' Those containing 85% or more acrylonitrile by mass are ``acrylic,'' and those containing 35 to 85% are ``modacrylic.'' Modacrylic is a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride, so it has excellent flame retardant properties and is used in flame retardant products (flame retardant fabrics, blankets, carpets, curtains, etc.) and wigs.
