NAXIS - The Brand Supporter
NAXIS CO., LTD., based in Kyoto, Japan, has been a top provider of high quality specialty textile products for over a century. The company, under the name Donsuya-Isuke, emerged from an artisan group renowned for weaving obi, the sash that serves as a belt for kimono. After Japan had ended its self-imposed international isolation (sakoku), Japanese manufacturers sought new opportunities for commerce with Western markets. Donsuya-Isuke successfully leveraged their expertise in weaving with the narrow loom used for obi, and branched out into weaving materials used for Western-style clothes, such as ribbons and labels. In 1897, the company was established as Nakamura Shoten.
