Mr. Gomei, who is in charge of our store, will be visiting us again this time from the long-established store Kinaya Tabi in Gyoda, the town of tabi making. Saitama, which is sandwiched between two major rivers, the Tone River and the Arakawa, has abundant water and a climate suitable for cotton cultivation, where cotton production has been flourishing since ancient times. Gyoda City, Prefecture. Tabi making in this area dates back to the Edo period. At that time, the feudal lord of Matsudaira in the Oshi domain (present-day Gyoda) encouraged the production of tabi in the Oshi castle town, and as people frequently traveled to Fukiage-juku on the Nakasendo road, it spread throughout the country and is still the largest producer of tabi in the nation. I'm proud. Kineya Tabi, which has a long history in Gyoda City, began its history in 1929 as Nakazawa Tabi Co., Ltd., and is still a long-established tabi store that continues to this day, changing its name to Kineya Tabi. The 2017 Sunday theater movie "Rikuo" was filmed with the full cooperation of Kineya Tabi, who used the old sewing machine used in the movie and provided technical guidance on sewing. A dramatization of the popular novel by Jun Ikeido, in which a century-old tabi-making store tries to develop running shoes to ensure the survival of the company. This is a work from a few years ago, but if you haven't seen it yet, please check it out on a streaming service!
