    *This article first appeared in Artisan by ZOZO NEXT on February 19, 2026, and is reproduced here by permission.Hachioji, a city in Tokyo once celebrated as the ''City of Mulberry,'' has a rich history of prosperity built on sericulture and weaving. It's here that Sawai Orimono Co., Ltd. has been making its mark for over 120 years, preserving the techniques of the traditional craft known as ''Tama-ori.'' Shin Sawai, the 19th-generation head of the family business, is pushing the boundaries of what textiles can be. He's not just weaving traditional kimono fabrics; he's also supplying materials to international fashion houses, collaborating with diverse industries, and even upcycling discarded materials, continually expanding the potential of his craft.
