About Company of 西染工株式会社

山本　敏明

TOSIAKI TAMAMOTO   The representative of the company

There are few craftsmen whom both the thread and the cloth are dyed into precisely.
But we can dye both the thread and the cloth.

We have challenged a difficult condition consistently.and we always have gotten a result. we made it possible to dye it with the natural dye which must change how to handle day by day.

We succeeded in coloring the natural material in the natural dye. and, We can be dyed in large quantities keeping constant quality.

We do not want to say that we "cannot color it".

私たちは扱いにくい染料、染めにくい素材にこそ積極的に取り組み、結果を出してきたと自負しております。特に、天候や湿度に左右されやすく、それぞれに強い癖を持つ天然素材を、均一な品質をもって大量に染め上げる技術については高い評価をいただいてきました。

He is regarded as a new leader of the industry whole of Imabari-shi as well as textile industry.

山本敏明（弊社 代表取締役）は父の働く姿を見ながら育ちました。そして彼の父は、彼の師匠でもあります。しかし、彼は、タオルだけでなく、様々な分野の染色に挑戦してきました。わが国は、１９７０年代頃まで、効率性を優先して化学染料による染色を発達させてきましたが、山本はいち早く天然染料による量産体制を確立しました。同様に、天然繊維を染める技術の開発にも果敢に挑戦し、９０年代に入る頃には、オーガニック・ムーブメントを牽引する技能職のひとりとして数えられるようになりました。そして、今。彼は、その技能を、国内のみならず、海外の顧客に向け発信しようと新たな試みに着手しています。
