NUNO--which simply means 'cloth' in Japanese--is headed by Reiko Sudo, who started the company more than 20 years ago with legendary textile designer Jun'ichi Arai. NUNO seamlessly networks the independent spinners, dyers and mills that still survive in villages throughout Japan with a highly-developed communications infrastructure.
Combining traditional weaving techniques with state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing technologies, the special production processes behind each and every one of NUNO's unique designs rely heavily on the expertise of Japan's highly-skilled crafts persons and their centuries of accumulated experience.
