Founded in 1899, Korome Orimono was established in 1957. Over the years, the company has continuously supplied textiles to industries such as photo albums, aircraft seats, plastering nets, and doll manufacturing, adapting to the needs of each era.
Following participation in the Open Door project, the company shifted towards a market-driven approach. In recent years, Korome Orimono has focused on stable supply as a craft fabric manufacturer for the bookbinding, framing, and mounting industries, with products such as “Koro Cloth” for inkjet printing. The company is committed to both manufacturing and nationwide distribution.

Yarn-Dyed Jacquard Textiles with a Focus on Natural Materials
We design and produce textiles by carefully planning the color, pattern, material, and fabric width. Depending on the requirements, we utilize rayon, cotton, silk, linen, and synthetic fibers, selecting between yarn-dyed and post-dyed processing methods. By skillfully employing jacquard (patterned) and dobby (solid) looms, we continuously propose high-quality fabrics that meet customer expectations.
We emphasize collaboration with both other industries and fellow textile manufacturers to create products that fulfill diverse needs. Valuing strong horizontal connections, we maintain close relationships with skilled processing companies while working alongside raw material suppliers and preparatory manufacturers. This approach allows us to expand possibilities and explore new distribution channels beyond the textile industry.

Specializing in the production of textiles for bookbinding, framing, and hanging scrolls, Korome creates high-quality fabrics for traditional Japanese mounting.

In 1998, he participated in the Echizen Traditional Development Research Association's Open Door project and exhibited collaboratively with washi paper, lacquerware, and eyewear manufacturers at Art Link in Yanaka, Tokyo.
