Hello everyone.
The days are getting a little colder, but I hope you are doing well.
There are days when it's so cold in the morning that it takes a lot of courage to leave the house.
Actually, I am one of them.
Although I shiver a little from the cold, I still set out to walk today.
At times like these, my Naramaki wraps my belly gently and warmly as always.
This gentle warmth gives me the energy to take a step forward.
"NARAMAKI" was created as a belly warmer that gently wraps around the stomach, incorporating the rich history and nature of Nara into small embroideries.
We want belly warmers to be more than just a winter cold weather gear; we want them to be like a "charm" that can be with you 365 days a year.
That's why we've focused on making it incredibly thin so that you can wear it comfortably even in the summer.
The fabric used is a special blend of cotton and silk.
Cotton is highly absorbent and breathable, and feels smooth and silky to the touch, while silk is the natural fiber closest to human skin and has excellent moisturizing properties.
By combining the best of these two, you can wear it comfortably at any time, regardless of the season.
We would like to introduce to you some new embroidery patterns that have been added to the NARAMAKI collection.
Well, everyone, have you watched this year's Taiga drama yet?
That's right! The new embroidery motifs we are bringing to you this time are the "Toyotomi Samurai Helmets" and "Koriyama Castle," which are closely related to the NHK historical drama "Toyotomi Brothers!" that is currently attracting attention all over Japan.
So why did Naramaki join the ranks as a logo licensed product for the 2026 Taiga drama "Toyotomi Brothers!" ?
This is due to our deep ties to Yamatokoriyama, the town in Nara where we live.
The protagonist, Toyotomi Hidenaga, is the younger brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the great man known to the world as the greatest ruler of Japan. He was his brother's greatest supporter and supported the unification of Japan, and was an important figure who built Koriyama Castle in what is now Koriyama City, laying the foundation for the city.
Nana Quoted from the official website of Ryo Prefecture : https://www.pref.nara.jp/miryoku/ikasu-nara/naranoshiro/koriyamajo/
In history, Hideyoshi tends to get the spotlight, but without the support of his younger brother Hidenaga, Hideyoshi may not have been able to unify Japan. It was truly a dream that the two of them achieved together, a testament to their brotherly love.
( That's true brotherly love, the unsung hero .)
We have incorporated our feelings about this brotherly bond, which is essential to the history of Nara, into the embroidery patterns and have now launched a new series of logo-licensed products for the historical drama "Toyotomi Brothers!"
There are three different embroidery patterns in total.
One is the powerful helmet of his older brother, Hideyoshi, who lived brilliantly through the Sengoku period.
The other is a helmet with a certain dignity that belongs to Hidenaga, the younger brother who continued to support his older brother and was known for his warm personality.
The last one is Koriyama Castle, which was built by Hidenaga and is now popular for its spectacular view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom during the Castle Festival.
And this series also pays special attention to the packaging.
The soft image of Naramaki has been completely revamped, with a gorgeous golden package reminiscent of the Toyotomi golden age.
There are two sizes, " SM " and " ML ", so that many people can use it.
The colors available are "white" and "black" as shown above.
Embroidery on white creates a soft and gentle impression, while embroidery on black creates a sharp and stylish impression.
One of the fun things about it is that the atmosphere changes completely depending on the color you choose.
Please choose your favorite pattern and color.
Just as Hidenaga once faithfully supported his brother and cherished the land of Yamato.
Our "NARAMAKI" will continue to gently protect you and your loved ones all year round.
With this wish in mind, we embroidered each stitch.
Feel the gentle warmth on your skin.
