in 1918We founded a spinning company in Senshu, Osaka, Japan

in 1951We changed our company name to TAISHOBOSEKI Industries, Ltd.

in 1998We started sales of recycled cotton "Raffy".

Which is ecological and results in a "vintage" style.
As a result, the product has had a great impact on the textile industry.

in 2001We started organic cotton farming at Dosi Alvarez's farm introduced by Ms. Sally Fox in New Mexico, USA.

in 2006We won the Senken award.

in 2008We won MAINICHI Fashion Grand Prix, which is one of the awards in the fashion business of Japan.

This award is particularly special since it is rarely awarded to a fiber producer.

in 2010We were certificated by both The Global Organic Textile Standard(GOTS) and The Organic Content Standard(OCS).

Which are the world standards for organic production. Our company was the first Japanese producer of spun cotton to be certified by these standards.

in 2010The first National Cotton Summit was held in Japan.

And we were in charge of the Secretariat Division along with the President of Kishiwata no Kai, Mr. Tatsumi. Kishiwata no Kai is a community of cotton industries in Japan.
All cotton farmers in Japan gathered there for the first time.

in 2011Tohoku Cotton Project.

As one of the project founders, we visited Tohoku with some members of the Cotton Summit; mainly Kishiwata no Kai and Sakaiminato. At this time we instructed farmers about cotton farming on the farmland damaged by the tsunami.

in 2011We introduced ginning machines.

At that time, there were only small cotton ginning machines in Japan, so ginning was a major concern for cotton growers. TAISHOBOSEKI Industries reimported old Japanese ginning machines from Thailand, redeveloped them, and introduced them to cotton production areas nationwide.

in 2012We started test growing of raw cotton.

We grew several types of cottons for 3 years in Hannan City, Osaka Prefecture and investigated the biology of the cottons.

in 2017We started organic cotton farming with young farmers in Texas, USA.
