Ise-Momen: Ise Cotton
April 16, 2015As what people sing, "Ise held up by Tsu, Tsu held up by Ise, and Owari-Nagoya held up by the castle". Tsu, the center of Ise-no-kuni, was a production area of silk, hemp fibre and cotton (Ise-Momen). The patterns of cotton from different regions are not much different and basic patterns have not changed between now and the past. Their distinctiveness is mainly fromtheir yarns and dyeing.
