【Yonezawa-Dantsu ・ Takizawa-Kobo】

Yonezawa-Dantsu ・Takizawa-Kobo is a rug workshop in Yonezawa, in the southern part of Yamagata Prefecture. Silk weaving has been an established trade in the area since the Yonezawa clan's reign. Hand-woven carpets can be pound strongly, making it difficult for hair to fall out and making them more durable. As a result, no backing or glue is required, and the front design is instantly transferred to the back. The same goes for Yonezawa-Dantsu. When we receive orders for complicated weaves or big scale carpets, we create our own looms and manufacture them ourselves. In recent years, we have aimed to make rugs with a 'pleasant touch'.

【WHAT IS ‘DANTSU’... ?】

Dantsu is a dense hand-knotted carpet. The warp yarn is woven together with wool pile yarn, while the weft yarn and knotted yarn form the carpet's structure, which results in high density and strength. When looking at the reverse side, the design on the front side remains intact, demonstrating the carpets' remarkable solidity/thickness.

MAINTENANCE
If you notice dust, wipe the rug with a white towel wrung tightly with warm water, following the direction of the hair from top to bottom. This removes both dust and stray hairs. If you're not sure which way the hairs are facing, check the tag on the back of the rug; the direction in which the tag is hanging indicates the bottom. Professional cleaning is recommended for difficult to remove stains.
