INDEX[4]New JFW JAPAN CREATION 2020 exhibitors:



The two textile shows organised by the Japan Fashion Week Organization (JFW); <JFW JAPAN CREATION (JFW-JC) 2020> and <Premium Textile Japan (PTJ) Autumn/Winter 2020>, will be held concurrently from November 19–20 at the Tokyo International Forum / Hall E (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo Prefecture). The all-inclusive textile trade show, JFW-JC, will host over 290 exhibitors (210.3 booths) including 20 new participants, while the business-focused textile salon, PTJ, will accommodate a carefully screened selection of textile companies and around 85 exhibitors (116.5 booths), including 10 new applicants on this occasion. Around 17,200 visitors were recorded in the previous edition, reflecting a growing number of buyers; not only from apparel companies, designers and/or trading firms, but also overseas, which is why the shows attract so much attention and are considered the most acclaimed textile events of their type and most representative of Japan. We are delighted to introduce a portion of new exhibitors for both shows.




●ASAHI KASEI ADVANCE CORPORATION  <J-63>

   Considerable visitor appeal expected


The knit material section debuts in the JFW-JC show, aiming to promote sales of yarns such as ‘Bemberg’ above all. ‘We have participated in several specialist yarn exhibitions to date, but find the JFW-JC quite attractive in terms of show timing and the Tokyo International Forum is ideally located for visitor traffic’ - positive feedback following their initial participation.

Asahi Kasei’s Bemberg product is a regenerated fibre made of cotton linters; a raw material not normally used for textile fibres and even retaining its biodegradable property. They will showcase Bemberg as a sustainable fabric while highlighting their functionality regarding twisted yarns and mixed-spun items on this occasion.

Also on show will be cotton yarns and organic cotton from India alongside stockpiled items, including mainly single yarns with yarn counts of 30, 40 and 60. Visitors can also enjoy equally high-quality yarn using Egyptian cotton from the acclaimed Italian shirting fabric company ALBINI.

Building on the manufacturing function of the ASAHI KASEI, the company has been advancing the co-development of yarns with other companies from textile regions.

●OMIYA CO., LTD.  <J-76>

   Proposing unique products only a kimono trading company can offer


OMIYA CO., LTD., based in Kyoto, is a kimono trading company, selling fabrics originating from all over Japan to retail shops. On this occasion, they decided to join JFW-JC to promote kimono fabrics to sectors other than the kimono market alone.

Despite participating in many other exhibitions to date, they are convinced that other areas of industry have yet to discover the true charm of kimono fabrics, as reflected in this view: ‘Although a kimono fabric roll is a single section (approx. 36 cm), fabric for obis (sashes), for example, can be used for a range of other fields such as bags or fashion accessories, which is why we will leverage our unique status as a kimono trading house to showcase appealing cross-field textiles of kimono origin.’

For apparel companies, they intend to offer wide-width silk textiles dyed using a traditional technique known as SUMINAGASHI (marbling). Other products include 100% cotton Echigo denim; a denim-like fabric available in a 90-cm wide option, Hakata-ori; woven in a way that brings out its warp yarn patterns as a stand-out feature and retaining a high warp density for certain stiffness, applicable to bags. Also on show will be braided cords from the Kyoto and Iga regions.

●KAIKOSHA  <J-14>

   Printing on difficult fabric

KAIKOSHA was originally founded as a letterpress printing company in Katsushika Ward, Tokyo Prefecture in 1964. Having since installed inkjet printing and sublimation transfer printing equipment, they have been providing printing services on fabrics, including original commercial flags. These days, their company name ‘KAIKOSHA’ is a romanised form of the original Japanese indication; ‘海鴻社’.

Despite having participated in a range of fairs to date, this will mark their JFW-JC debut. ‘After many previous visits to JFW-JC shows, we got the feeling that our sublimation transfer printing might attract interest among the many other fabrics on show each time.’ They explain the reason behind their decision to participate and what they will showcase; ‘What sets us apart is the ability to offer sublimation transfer printing on fabrics on which printing is normally difficult and which other makers often shun, such as sheer or 2-way stretch materials. We have the technique to cope with any inquiry.’ The minimum processing quantity is 2m and the company can also expedite delivery to within a week for 100m orders.

Excelling at small-batch orders in particular, they anticipate catering to mid-range designers above all.



●GIFUKASEN IND. CO., LTD.  <J-19>

   Showcasing the ‘chrysanthemum’


GIFUKASEN IND. CO., LTD. (Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture) manufactures non-woven fabrics (NP) using needle-punch machines and has been cultivating sales channels for apparel/general goods by developing non-woven fabrics named ‘chrysanthemum’; needle-punched cloth uniting NP and textile while maintaining the production and sales of industrial materials for automobiles, daily-life related goods, agriculture/civil engineering and supporting materials for apparel.

‘Non-woven fabrics are normally used for interlining - playing a role like a supporting player behind the scenes’, but they are motivated to showcase ‘non-woven fabrics combined with patterned lace-type fabrics - applicable to items such as jackets, hats or parasols and gauge the reaction by visitors in line with future development.’ They also plan to showcase sustainable products combining Japanese Washi paper and recycled polyester on this occasion.

The company is ranked A - the highest - for business potential and has been certified for its management innovation plan by Gifu Prefecture. They are highly motivated to showcase Japanese armour prominently to promote the region of their innovative leader Nobunaga Oda.

●HIMEJI LEATHER HIMEJI PREMIUM LEATHER  <J-72>

   Extending applications to everyday items


HIMEJI LEATHER / HIMEJI PREMIUM LEATHER (Hanada town, Himeji City) will appear in JFW-JC with the following aim: ‘Unlike previous B2B or B-distribution systems; leather wholesalers >>> product makers, what we hope is to acquire closer customers such as makers/creators by direct procurement via retail distribution.’ They anticipate appealing to the non-apparel market above all, encompassing categories such as lifestyle and general everyday goods as well as shoes, bags, apparel and other items.

On this occasion, four companies will jointly participate in a collective group representing Himeji Leather: DAISHO, HIRAI CORPORATION, ALMIGHTY and KADOYA-SHOTEN. The leather originating from the Takagi region of Hanada Town in Himeji City is famous for the unique and painstaking tanning and meticulous finishing processes in particular. The region produces 95% of Japan-made horsehide.

They will focus on their original leather products originating from this region, centring on eco-leather items with environmental protection uppermost in mind on this occasion; chome-free leather, Himeji white leather and indigo-dyed cowhide alongside skin from deer and wild boars sourced in culls of harmful animals in Hyogo Prefecture.

●MURAI CO., LTD.   <J-8>

   With shoe core material set to take centre stage

MURAI CO., LTD. located in Toshima Ward of Tokyo Prefecture deals with shoe materials. Established in 1931, it started sales of US made box toes in 1960 and currently enhances open innovation as part of collaboration with universities to offer shoe manufacturing putting ergonomics first.

In most cases, paper material is used for the shoe core for a natural-looking final appearance and the core paper material is also applied to items like tags on jeans. They have decided to join the fair to ‘promote scope to leverage the hidden material and give it centre stage.’ They commented how ‘despite this paper excelling in terms of strength and durability, its thickness can also be varied and a 0.3mm-thick variety is also available.’ Considering its applicability to bags as well as shoes, the options are innumerable. ‘We highly anticipate the reaction of the crumple-finished core material, usable for the exterior.’ As for insoles, sponging processing using man-made leather is applied. They intend to promote this material by leveraging the sponge-bonding technique for wider-ranging applications, including accessories such as bags and hats besides clothes.
