TANAGOKORO GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Motivated by a strong passion to "make the world's best towel" embraced by Ginza Tanagokoro staff who adhere to Japan's traditional art Binchotan, together with my emotional collaboration, the staff and I jointly created a new yarn called TANAGOKORO GOLDEN TRIANGLE.
Suvin Gold, the cotton used in this yarn, was named in 1994 and developed by Mr. Apsumi, a great figure in India, who lived in St. Vincent island in the Caribbean for two years and grew cotton and then brought the seeds back to Deccan Plateau in India. Through crossbreeding with ancient cotton Sujata, he developed Suvin in 1974 which grew to be the world's top cotton.
The other cotton Ultimate Pima, having its route in Sea Island, is ultimate organic cotton grown by my close associate Mr. Dosi who is a farmer in La Union, a suburb of El Paso together with Sally Fox, a doctor of entomology.
By exquisitely blending these two main delicate and plump Extra Long Staple Cottons and rayon kneaded with Japan's traditional Binchotan, and slightly twisted to the utmost limit, a smooth yarn was created.
I am sure that a comfort blanket made of this TANAGOKORO GOLDEN TRIANGLE will give you a new pleasure and will certainly take you to a healing world.
