Mizuko Mitarai x Kaori Nakano Talk Show

Are you familiar with fisherman's sweaters?
It refers to a sweater worn by fishermen, and its origins lie in the knitwear worn by fishermen in England and France when they went out to sea.




Mizuko Mitarai, the representative director and president of Kesennuma Knitting, launched the brand of fisherman's sweaters in Kesennuma City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

Kesennuma Knitting puts their heart and soul into knitting sweaters, with local knitters in Kesennuma spending approximately 50 hours to complete a single sweater.





Actually, before starting this business, Ms. Mitarai was staying in Bhutan. So why did she start knitting in Kesennuma, and what were the circumstances that led to it...?

At the talk show, you can enjoy a discussion session between two women: fashion historian Kaori Nakano and Ms. Mitarai. We will also have delicious pairings of sake and Kesennuma products recommended by Ms. Mitarai available♪

You can enjoy two full hours of valuable stories that you wouldn't normally get to hear.
