with Rafu hemp.
The Fukushima Technical Support Center of the Fukushima High-Tech Plaza, an organization that conducts research on textiles, has asked us to develop a product using Rafu linen fibers. - We started making products using the technology of making pleated silk fabric by special processing that we had been working on for a long time.。
