A total of 32 companies from Japan will participate in the 'Japan Pavilion 2023 Autumn Edition,' organised by the Japan Fashion Week Organization (JFW), occupying 78 booths (six of whom first-time exhibitors). Following the Autumn Edition in October 2021, the Spring Edition of the Intertextile Shanghai exhibition, previously postponed due to Zero-COVID measures, resumed with great success this March. Reflecting the high demand for Japanese fabrics in China, the Japan Pavilion attracted both many existing customers and numerous buyers from new brands, who came together for fruitful business negotiations. We are delighted to introduce new exhibitors representing the Japan Pavilion on this occasion.

Showcasing environmentally conscious supporting materials SHIMADA SHOJI CO., LTD. is a trading company that sources supporting materials from around the world and supplies them to domestic and international apparel manufacturers. One of their strengths is the ability to develop new products that were previously unavailable by combining backgrounds from many various suppliers. As to the future Chinese market, they believe that there will be a high demand for high-quality and environmentally conscious products because the country is emphasising environmental considerations through policies. They also note that competition is intensifying and consumers are becoming more cost-conscious while demanding higher quality. To survive in the Chinese market, they consider approaching Chinese brands and expanding business to be the most critical challenges. For this reason, they plan to exhibit many environmentally conscious products and technical items on this occasion. They will be presenting a collection including "CLEANMELL PREMIUM" is an odour-reducing, antiviral and antibacterial spray, alongside STA-GUARD tape, certified with the Eco-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 for static prevention. <JFW Textile Online Salon:SHIMADA SHOJI CO., LTD.> https://jfw-textile-online.com/textile?user=412&lang=en ![]() TOHO BEADS Proposal for new bead products TOHO BEADS has already established a sales track record in China. On this occasion, they will be aiming to "help our products and brand penetrate into industries other than the main market (accessories and handicrafts) and bring new customers on board." The glass beads for automatic embroidery machines they put on show allow bead embroidery, traditionally a manual task, to be performed using automatic embroidery machines. These beads have larger holes than those used for hand embroidery, accelerating the embroidery process with sewing needles. They have also paved the way to use ultra-uniform beads in the accessory industry, with thousands of beads used in a single accessory. This allows designers to create the desired finished form to a high level of precision. For handicraft glass beads, they offer wide-ranging shapes and sizes to meet the demands of accessory designers. Over 1000 colours are also selectable for popular product types. ![]() KIRARI CO., LTD. Also coping with speedy delivery KIRARI CO., LTD. is a company that stocks products in a Shanghai warehouse and provides short delivery lead times. They note the way the Chinese market is recovering economically after the COVID-19 pandemic and see the potential to expand their sales channels. They also believe that even swifter business operations will be required going forward. On this occasion, they will propose a tricot weave using a composite processed yarn of different shrinkage mixed-filament polyester and polyurethane for both warp and weft threads. This tricot weave results in a compact, soft-touch and voluminous two-way material. The stand-out feature lies in an excellent kickback performance, only achievable via a special processing technique. They have also developed a basic acetate satin vintage fabric, which combines special post-processing for gloss and vintage processing to create a deep and glossy shine, reminiscent of wax or oil treatment. Meanwhile, the stand-out feature of the Airy Loop Inlay material is the cuteness of loop thread use. Despite a high wool blend ratio, it is a light-weight product which boasts excellent heat retention. <JFW Textile Online Salon:KIRARI CO., LTD.> https://jfw-textile-online.com/textile?user=406&lang=en ![]() LAN CO., LTD. A wide-ranging collection including velvet and tweed LAN CO., LTD. will propose original crushed velvet fabric. Unlike regular chinchilla or crushed fabrics where dark or reverse-nap garments might end up concealing the crushed effect, this fabric is designed to promote the crushed texture from every angle. The processing involves applying a random crushed effect, then setting the pattern in place with rollers. They will additionally showcase 100% organic cotton fabric, certified by international accreditation organisations. The fabric is finished with a washing process using a jet dyeing machine, for a richer and softer end texture. They have also developed tweed fabrics combining fancy yarns and special design threads. These tweeds are woven on unique Japanese shuttle looms (by Schönherr), giving them a soft texture. They expect items as valuable as these to attract numerous visitors, including designer brands. <JFW Textile Online Salon:LAN CO., LTD.> https://jfw-textile-online.com/textile?user=408&lang=en ![]() Photo from left: Organic cotton/Tweed/Velvet THE ONE CO., LTD. Planning and development with textile regions THE ONE CO., LTD. works directly on planning and development with various textile production regions in Japan, ensuring consistent quality and stable delivery times across the board, from integrated management up to mass production. It is also affiliated with China Nantong Zhonghe, to facilitate product delivery. One of the exhibits includes a salt shrinkage-processed double-woven dobby fabric made from a cotton/polyester blend. Weaving 80-count cotton yarn with polyester spandex yarn is highly challenging and requires advanced skills. This fabric offers a gentle texture and a moderate sheer effect. They have also produced a rare dobby two-way fabric made of cotton in the Enshu region. Specially brushed and compactly finished, it results in a very soft and clean surface texture. The plain double-weave from the Hokuriku region gives the appearance of worsted wool but is actually made of washable rayon. It uses long and short twisted yarns combined, providing both full and a strong twist. The fabric is also processed with SY for a vintage feel and stretchability that encompasses a wide range of items. <JFW Textile Online Salon:THE ONE CO., LTD.> https://jfw-textile-online.com/textile?user=413&lang=en ![]() SUN FASTENING SYSTEMS CO., LTD.
