Enshiyu Cotton

Enshu cotton is a specialty of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is one of Japan's three major textile industries (Mikawa, Senshu, and Enshu).

Enshu cotton originated in the Edo period. Farmers in the city used it to make ends meet in winter, so they began to use machine-made cotton. Due to the industrialization movement in the Meiji period, handmade fiber looms began to be used, and they flourished in the Showa era. During the Heisei period, Enshu Mian declined due to the influx of a large number of overseas products.
