Notojofu, a woven fabric that has been passed down since the age of myth

The YAMAZAKI NOTOJOFU WORKSHOP, INC. is a textile manufacturer specializing in Notojofu. In 1891, our company was founded here in the Noto region, an area known across the nation as one of the most prolific and highest-quality textile production regions in Japan. Since then, it is the only weaving workshop to carry on the traditional techniques of Notojofu. Although it is now the only remaining weaving workshop, its weavers, who are mostly young people from throughout the prefecture and around Japan, continue to weave in their predecessors’ footsteps.
